The simple sentences LLM keep generating break my brain, it's like 95% of writing is now 3rd grade level.

Compare that to e.g. Martin Amis: https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Martin_Amis

That's not just you imagining things, that's the world around you changing. That's real and it matters.
You could even argue that it’s the load-bearing point!
> Style is not neutral; it gives moral directions.

> Nowadays every business in America says how warm it is and how much it cares — loan companies, supermarkets, hamburger chains.

Guess which one is AI and which one is a quote from Martin Amis.

Martin Amis level prose is neither possible nor desirable for a technical blog post.
I don't think that there is anything wrong with having stylistic depth in any wriitng
Why?
