    I read the text behind the link - I just didn’t engage with it.

    What’s worth keeping in mind here is that using an LLM to assist in writing could mean anything from it fixing a few spelling mistakes and adding missing punctuation to a text the author wrote themselves all the way to AI writing the entire thing from scratch. Just because someone spots an em dash doesn’t mean an LLM wrote the whole thing.

    I don’t think LLMs are the issue but poor quality writing is. Generic AI output tends to just make people’s eyes glaze over so they stop reading. The same thing happens with poorly written human slop. People are only against AI use when they can detect it. It’s the good old toupee fallacy: all toupees look bad - except the ones you didn’t recognize as a toupee.
