Because of your multiple "I am tired of saying this, but this text was written by me and not an LLM" in your blog posts, I want to tell you that I read it word for word. :D I know this comment adds not much but I felt it needed to be said.

One almost forgets how easy it is to read a wall of text when it was written by a human. This was nice to read (also because you can feel it's got care behind it).
I have been reading through pharma textbooks written before AI and realized it's so relieving to follow language that has been crafted over multiple editions by humans. When I started to realize how much easier it was for me to read textbooks than the average AI-assisted text, that's when I realized we are truly cooked (at least for this chapter of AI + writing).
Can you give an example of a pharma textbook that has gotten worse during the AI-slopp-ocalypse? Bonus Internet points for sharing any especially egregious passages!
Amen. I'll never, ever stop writing my own articles by hand.
I don't mind if my English isn't entirely idiomatic and all my sentence constuctions aren't "by the book" correct. I want to write, and I want anyone reading my writing to know that it's the product of thinking and editing that's unique to me.

Erm, this really depends on the human I think.
They should train AI for this, God it would help.
you mean you don't like phrases like "here’s what they don’t tell you" !?
At this point I just get frustrated reading AI prose. I tried for the past few months to just shut my mouth and force myself to read AI prose, since r/singularity wasted no breath telling people how they're Luddites for not marrying an AI.
But I can't do this any longer. I'm tired, boss.
You were right to call me out on that.
And the real load-bearing part? It's not that, it's this. And honestly? That's great!
Lowkey so true. I was wondering why I was able to read to the end without getting lost or distracted lol
When I am tired, it's when I know I am alive.
what a great quote.
here's another:
"when i am sad, i have to remind myself that sadness i feel so as to qualify me to enjoy and feel joy."
this is not mine, it's a paraphrase of a poem verse from Mawlawi (aka Rumi in the West).
As an aside, I once saw someone cite something somewhat profound and cited Rumi as the source, and I was like "hm that doesn't sound like him but maybe I'm just uncultured."
Turns out they were quoting Rumi from K Pop Demon Hunters and I indeed am uncultured.
