>writing flawless English

Is there still grammar police on the Internet, calling out people for making grammatical mistakes in their writing? Who is asking for flawless English? Thinking that the LLM style is an example of flawless writing is a common mistake of ESL people. It's not flawless. A single rhythm, structure and flow permeates every piece of LLM writing. There is no variation whatsoever. People have been reading so much of that stuff recently that they don't bother to read the article if they spot one of these patterns. They're so easy to avoid, too.

Is it flawless? Probably not, I'm not a writer, or a native English speaker. However I think it's more sincere, explains the feelings without any fluff, and is just simpler.

If the author's goal is to have people read their article, they should consider that people are tired of reading these patterns over and over again, it's not "flawless English" and it's not "writing clearly" because the patterns are unnecessary and obscure the message.

This is one of the last places on the internet that actually has grammar police, as commenters here have a desire to be technically correct in all aspects.

You cut off the part where he says he did "use AI to resort it".

> Yes, i used AI to resort it [..]

The author's voice in that comment doesn't sound like their writing in the article(s).

Maybe they're being sincere, and they just edited it so heavily with AI that it comes out sounding generated, but that's a distinction without a difference.

That comment appears to be from 9 months ago, regarding an entirely different article.

Also, you've cut out the part where he says he did use AI, but just to "resort" the article (by which I assume he means "reorganize"). Whether one believes that is gonna be a judgment call I suppose.

The article is clearly AI written. You can also see in their account history where they’re switching between their own writing style or copy and pasting from an LLM.

Most LLM copy-paste accounts will deny it when called out.

It may be not "generated", as in it's a true story, but the writing is AI.
