I find it interesting that the 6 replies to my comment assumed that I was talking about myself, when in fact my comment specifically was talking about other people. I can and do write just fine, thank you. But I have sympathy for people who have something to say and struggle to say it, whether because they lack the skill or the time or the executive function. They don't need to be recognized as a writer, they just want to have an impact.

Using LLMs to write is like wearing fast fashion. If you want certain kinds of people to notice you and think of you favorably, you need to wear clothes that represent how you want to be seen. It would be better if people made their own clothes, or paid money to "real" designers for bespoke and/or high-quality items. But most people can't afford the time and money for that. So we have places like Hot Topic and Forever 21 and you probably recognize when other people shop there and you turn up your nose at them. But they are still effective at getting what they want from their sartorial choices.

Your second paragraph makes no sense, other than to make the expectation of effort sound like classism. Wearing clothes other people made is not a summary of your ideas, it's an expression of your aesthetic.

Writing is free. About as free as anything can be. It's not classism to ask people to put some actual thought into their ideas. It's just reality that people won't want to read slop.

No, it's just colloquial English on a forum to write you as an address to the reader, not literally to the person you reply to. As in, "if you (someone) feels they can't write without AI, then writing may not be for you (that person)."
