Good to know, thanks! This article was such a breath of fresh air compared to the usual "LLM-assisted" writing you get.

Just sentences like this:

> This isn’t just a problem for far-off countries of which we know little, like the EU and the US and China. Here in the UK [...]

So good! I feel like I'm becoming an old cynic but if it's the tenth time on the day that I read an overdramatized "It's not X, it is Y" in an article, actually good writing just hits different.

This is the London Review Of Books. They will be one of the last bastions of non-AI writing, because they actually care.
It’s depressing how hard it is to find anything worth reading on HN lately. Everything is either an advert or slop essay.

The article here is outstanding.

Not a fan of AI writing but I find sentences like that to be fluff and would prefer a more concise article overall. That would also have been my critique prior to AI and is the reason I only made it about half way through.
