Not just that, I think a lot of people are going to waste their time losing the battle (and make no mistake, they will lose) fighting against AI writing without ever asking themselves what makes writing good in the first place.

There’s good AI writing and bad organic writing. But it’s easier to point out a few LLM-isms than to actually identify the problems with text.

> There's good AI writing

Sure, but the LLM-isms in AI writing are mentally exhausting to see in every way at this point.

The whole point of reading, frankly, is to understand the voice of other people. When you pass that through a distorted filter that makes everyone sound the same... its bad, lossy, frustrating communication

It's also dishonest. When you publish something that is direct output without your wording. Digital catfishing at best.

The only good AI writing is providing the prompt, because the question is way more interesting, and way more constructive to learning than the answer
