The instant I realize it's an LLM generated piece. I'm out. Thanks for adding all the animations to make it abundantly obvious.

Also, I feel it's not who the generator is that should concern you--it's the quality of the text.

I would much rather read something that is clear, concise, and consistent regardless of the source.

The text is low quality because it is un-proofread LLM output.
Interesting thing I noticed was the word “magine” without the I at the start. Which felt quite human but… dunno
Oldest trick in the book is to put human like errors to make it look human. The thing everyone forgets is that almost everyone does simple spellcheck or has it automatically show the spelling errors so it’s improbable that such spelling errors are organic (of course, omitting, or having a word autocorrect makes more sense)

Smiles in Emacs, where I do the majority of my writing and don't have any form of spellcheck set up.

I will say though... Claude is shockingly good at writing elisp. If I can't find a plugin that does something I want, it usually only takes a few turns to get exactly what I was looking for, and I learn a bunch of elisp along the way.

You left out the hyphen in human-like, and the final period, so now we know you aren’t human. Nice try though.
Are those spelling errors?
What animations ?
