If you don't trust the author to do that, then it doesn't matter whether they used AI or not, does it?
replyWell for one thing I also trust most people I respect to not suddenly have someone else speaking on their behalf in their voice with no disclosure in most contexts where it would not be normal, yet that seems to have happened here. So while I personally do still trust and even respect the author, I can't help but empathize with someone who is suddenly a bit more skeptical.
replySpeaking as someone who posts a lot of stuff like this, the question isn't "Do I use AI or not?" The question is, "Do I have time to deal with writing this up for public consumption or not?"
replyThis was a relatively complicated post of the sort that we are lucky to get in any form, AI-assisted or otherwise. Does it meet my personal stylistic standards? No, it's too LLM-ish. Assuming I cared about the presentation at all -- which I don't always, but would here -- I wouldn't be able to stop myself from fixing that in the process of reviewing it. Is it the usual bucket of slop? Emphatically no.
