the psychosis has gone off the charts! anything that sounds odd to someone can now be labelled as an LLM text "smell"?
why scoff over someone doing assisted writing? i might age myself but kids back in the day would try to sound better by using synonym feature in ms word (or through web thesaurus) for their assignment essays. this all looks familiar to the same practice, now only made more accessible.
There's nothing in the comment you're replying to that could be described as "scoffing." What are you on about?
I feel the opposite, where AI hype is so extreme that merely someone pointing out an article may have had LLM involvement prompts a response like this. Someone incredulously painting people as ivory tower nose thumbers. If anything, it pushes me away from LLM writing more.
I also don't see how you can compare finding a synonym for a word to having your entire writing voice determined for you.
