> to edit this very specific kind of phrasing out of their writing

Even without touching moral/ethical/normative reasons, it's impractical. LLMs will continue to incorporate the most popular phrasings or grammars, and touchy readers will simply pivot to a new "telltale" du-jour.

Eventually any personal or organic writing will be gone, as one twists themselves into an artificial form of "the inverse of the LLM."

It's impractical to edit your AI-generated writing to put it in your own voice? People have been writing unique stuff for millennia.

> your AI-generated writing

Hold up, the subject was writing which is not "AI generated", and the edits authors might make out of fear of being falsely accused.

If that's not what you intended, then I think your earlier comment is in error, since I'm not the only one who read it that way.
