I'm unconvinced of this "polishing" everyone seems to claim. Whenever someone dumps a load of slop on you, that's always the answer, oh this is totally my own work, but I used AI to "polish" it. Then why is it so clearly crap? What kind of "polishing" makes text bloated and empty?

No, they were too lazy to write and let the machine do it.

Well, I like writing. But I have friends who hate it .. but need to for work. So they enjoy LLM's to make professional drafts out of some notes (technical reports) without all their grammar misstakes etc. No fluff, just the document in a shape the target audience expects.

But if they would do this to me .. I would object. I prefer their authentic ramblings ..

I see what you did there

I will make use of Apple's AI writing tools to check my grammer and spelling before hitting send on more important messages, but that is about all the "polishing" I let it do. It always wants to change how I write, which isn't that helpful.

Finally, someone calling this one out. Are there legit english-learners or unskilled communicators out there who sparingly use LLMs to tweak 1-10% their prose here and there? Yes. Does that mean that the vast majority of slop-senders just using it for this "polishing"? No way.
