Does it really matter if AI was used? Is the article substantial? Does it tell a story? Is the narrative engaging? Is it factually accurate?

I get that LLMs are still capable of generating slop of nonsense, but when it really doesn't matter - when you're not writing an academic paper; when you're not developing a medical device; when you're not dealing with avionics - when the extreme determinism is not required. What difference does it really make?

Of course, story telling is by nature subjective - and you may say: "well I dislike the style", then who stands in your way to consume it differently? You can always feed it to LLM and ask it to style it differently - summarize it, explain it in detail, turn it into a sea shanty, whatever.

I'd argue that good story always survives "translation". You wouldn't dismiss Iliad because it was served to you in Aeolic Greek, you'd find a way to translate it to your mother tongue to enjoy it nevertheless, wouldn't you?
