There is no thoughtfulness or care involved. Only algorithmic conformance to some non-human synthesis of the given style. The issue is not just about the words that come out the other end. The issue is the loss of the transm…

You do realize I just took parents comment and gave an AI the prompt to rewrite it by changing everything negative to a positive?

The well is already poisoned. I'm refraining from hiring editors merely because I suspect there's a high chance they'll just use an LLM. All recent books I'm reading is with suspicion that they have been written by AI.

And I'm currently reading a book I'm 100% sure has…

Why are you calling Fil Henley a "xe"? Misgendering a man as non-binary is still misgendering. Let's not normalize misgendering in any way. (And no, you don't get call misgendering a "stylistic choice")
