If it conveys the intended information then what's wrong with that? You're fighting a tsunami here. People are going to use LLMs to help their writing now and forever.
The brainrot apologists have arrived
The issue is how tools are used, not that they are used at all.
“Studying “Brain Rot” for LLMs isn’t just a catchy metaphor—it reframes data curation as cognitive hygiene for AI, guiding how we source, filter, and maintain training corpora so deployed systems stay sharp, reliable, and aligned over time.” An LLM-written line if I’ve ever seen one. Looks like the authors have their own brainrot to contend with.

Whether it’s a tsunami and whether most people will do it has no relevance to my expectation that researchers of LLMs and brainrot shouldn’t outsource their own thinking and creativity to an LLM in a paper that itself implies that using LLMs causes brainrot.
Basically, I think the brain rot aspect might be a bit of terminology distraction here, when it seems what they're measuring is whether it's a puff piece or dense.

Seems like none to me.

The problem isn’t using AI—it’s sounding like AI trying to impress a marketing department. That’s when you know the loop’s closed.
Brain rot texts seems reasonably harmful, but brain rot videos are often surreal and semantically dense in a way that probably improves performance (such as discussed on this German brain rot analysis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mJENuEN_rs&t=37s ). For example, Švankmajer is basically proto-brainrot, but is also the sort of thing you'd watch in a museum and think about. Basically, I think the brain rot aspect mi…

Brainrot created by LLMs is important to worry about, their design as "people pleasers".
Their anthropomorphization can be scary too, no doubt.

If you can’t understand the irony inherent in getting an LLM to write about LLM brainrot, itself an analog for human brainrot that arises by the habitual non use of the human brain, then I’m not sure what to tell you. Whether it’s a tsunami and whether most people will do it has no relevance to my expectation that researchers of LLMs and brainrot shouldn’t outsource their own thinking and creativity to an LLM in a pa…
