Why would they have to? Just to avoid being accused of using a slop machine? If that is the only criticism you have against LLM produced text, then there is no problem.

And I'm saying this as somebody who is strongly against LLM-generated content of this form.

I have no problem with AI-generated text.

But I do have somewhat of a problem with unedited text. Personally, I even take the time to edit my HN comments.

And, for the same reason I'd have a problem watching the same episode of the same show every day, I have a problem with reading text that feels like a super derivative clone of tons of other writing. Which is usually what you get when you don't edit your AI-generated text.

All good, and I agree.

But the question was about somebody who does write the text themselves, who edits it themselves, no AI has ever touched it, but the result still has elements of what AI text typically has. Because it's their style. Why should such people have to adapt? Just so they don't end up in a witch hunt? How about texts older then 2, 5, 10 years? Should they be changed too? And how about if "LLM style" changes over time?
