What’s the use case?
Paste AI generated text and get a more human sounding version? That’s just AI generated text with extra steps.

#92Unpopular opinion.
Until now, ideas were only relevant when the owner was able to communicate then regardless of the impact of the idea.
LLM "democratize"(VC term) sharing ideas, as people with low communication skills can be heard.

Could you give an example?

#94I created a gem on Gemini (the equivalent of a gtp) basically with a set of instructions for rewriting my text in a professional, clear and concise way and it works great.
I just write my text without too much thought about it and I get a rewritten version that is usually clearer, but not pedantic or overly verbose.
It particular helps for English text as it is not my first language

#95This website itself looks like it was generated by an LLM and its github readme as well. Loses all credibility

My self.
LLM helps me communicate my ideas better.
Thinking in different angles, focus on the main idea, structure in a post series... It constantly challenge my mess.
Opus and I, iterate over 20 times a single blog post.

#97A handy tool. Bookmarked.
And good to know that Teddy Roosevelt was not an LLM: https://www.trcp.org/2011/01/18/it-is-not-the-critic-who-cou...

#98I find some parallelism between writing articles and Pull requests.
We are moving to a point in time, where we don't care if the PR was written by AI. We care that the author understand what is about, that it tested it and in general, we want the ownership.
With articles is the same. I don't care if it was written by AI, if the content is interesting, and ai make it easier to digest... That's a win win.
The problem is not the presentation. Is the content.

#99Like the original Grammarly, I think this can be useful for business writing because these tools help you get to the point. Many students are rewarded for using flowery language in school essays, but if you're composing an email or writing a design doc, just optimize for reading time and clarity. But for general use, I think this is misguided. The problem with LLM output is not that it's using em dashes or words such…
Tangential, but I remember when I was studying for the ACT, there was something in one of the practice books that stuck with me. I'm paraphrasing but it was something like "Good writing is clear and easy to understand. It's about communication, make sure you communicate". It was something that I guess I logically knew but hadn't fully realized. I had always tried to be fancy with my writing and pad it out to meet min…
Check out the books by Rudolf Flesch. Old school, but ever more applicable. Also, Bugs in writing, by Lyn Dupree.

#100Removing the aesthetic tells from LLM-generated text won't fix the fact that there's nobody home with opinions and experiences to express. It will just make it take more work for your unsuspecting audience to figure that out.
Yeah but there's a reasonable amount of content that has real information from a real human but they've used AI to help write it. Maybe they got a first draft from AI and then fixed it.
Those can still be things that I want to read but the AI rhetorical style is so tedious and overused at this point it's really annoying to read them. So this tool would help with those cases. (Assuming people actually use it.)
