The copy on your website itself kind of reads like LLM slop (eg. "One week. Three senior engineers. $10,000"). You may have written it yourself and marketing copy just tends to look like this, but it doesn't inspire confidence that your service will actually improve my code.

No shame in using Fable to help with the grammar and style of text. English is not my native language and while I can use it quite well, LLMs are much better in forming my thoughs into something simple, that sounds great.

My writing workflow is: (1) write what I want to have on the page. (2) /grill-me it should be sound and logical and easy to read. (3) Manually review the text, replace by hand what I don't like.

If you have even the remotest mental slop filter, I assume you are not really part of their target market.
There is also a flip side of this. I work a lot with AI-generate text and I can also catch it quickly, but most of the time now, it's easier to read AI, than humans with their weird chain of thoughts and compex sentences ;P
I think it is deliberately written to be LLM slop so the folks buying their services will be comforted.

Some people like AI generated comfort-slop nowadays. They feel uncomfortable when they run into individualistic human language.
