alt Hacker NewsI don’t give a flying fuck what people think. Most colleges copied or adopted my (for a few semesters) school’s style guide, so LLMs are essentially copying me, and I won’t change my punctuation usage because they suck.

So all your writings are private, then?
Do you have a motivation to communicate or publish? You're posting here on HN, so I think so.
Why do you do think you do it?

The purpose of good writing style has always been to signal education and class. Well, your style no longer does. The future is now.

Yeah, I get it, they do suck. It all sucks.
But people at work who are copying responses from LLMs into emails to others also suck, and I want to distance myself from them as much as possible. I'm kinda hoping we will eventually have a wave of "what the fuck are we paying you for if you're just copying stuff from an LLM to Slack" firings.
