Why can't you just publish the prompt instead? Do you not see how LLMs subtly alter your original message and erase your voice? They fill gaps that didn't exist, they create syllogisms that make no sense, and the voice is now so ridiculously AIdiosyncratic that it makes my eyes boil!

If you have a message that takes 100 words to say, do not use a LLM to add 400 words to it, this isn't a school assignment! Stretching a spaghetti does not yield more spaghetti, it just makes a mess!

Where is the value the LLM adds? Grammar? Vocabulary? The price you pay is you sound like everyone else and your original message is lost in the noise.

As far as publishing "the prompt" - there's no "the prompt." The draft was put together and expanded over a set of interactions with an LLM and other people over the space of about six hours. "The prompt" would have been about twelve pages long and unreadable. Funny as heck, but unreadable.

(If you're really interested, you can check the logs in the site and find the actual interaction that started the article out. It was a comment from someone else, and it got me thinking.)

Heh. Funny thing: I've been writing online and professionally for literal decades, since around 2002 or so, and the LLMs tend to change my actual writing voice relatively little and usually in positive ways, since they say I meander too much.
