This reads as vaguely anti-intellectualist.
I don't want to bother with readability, quality, or efficiency. Taking time to think is pointless.
Taking time to organize and write my thoughts is pointless. There are plenty of unpolished, incoherent ramblings on the internet, many with ill intent, that should not be given any value. (Yes, I understand that was not the intended meaning, but author should proofread)
The less coherent something is the more value I assign to it?? Wtf is wrong with people...
It's because you usually won't find a typo in an LLM-generated post, like you can in a human-written one.
Sounds more like anti-intellectualism if you ask me.
Only if they're sloppy.
The LLMs make mistakes too, though. They're trained on stuff they skimmed on the net, and they make a lot of "Americanism" mistakes: pluralizing mass nouns like cinnamon and email with an S; 'thru' and other lazy abbreviations; spelling words like 'labour' without one letter; pay 'check'(checked;still there). The list goes on.
Some of those won't be discernible by an American recipient, but the rest of the world sees it. It sticks out like a "see below list" and a "how it's like" and we see the rot.
So you're saying they should polish their text to make it more coherent? Huh.
