I am professionally interested in the narrative structure of texts, as a teacher and researcher, so I ask this out of genuine interest. I often see posts like this in discussions of LLM use and I wonder where they are coming from. They read like ad copy from a marketing department rather than a non-professional expressing personal feelings. Are you in marketing, or perhaps was this post generated by LLM?

Neither. And this is another bias I keep seeing. Anyone who actually uses the technology in the way I do must be using it to write (I don't) or a shill. Nope I just have been using it for various things since the early days and I wonder why people are so allergic to being able to express themselves clearer and with more agency. Not everything has to be about money. LLMs and image generators can just be fun.

I like that my writing is considered well structured / grammatically correct enough to be llm worthy though. I often think I make several obvious errors when I write off the cuff internet posts (and probably did).
