But the point is that the results tend to be very grating.

AI writing is clunky!

This is totally fair, but maybe consider editing the AI output once it's given you a second draft?

I agree entirely. Seeing all llm garbage being published made me realize how insecure people are about their writing.

Since realizing, I've been stubbornly improving my own writing and not touching LLMs. Takes a bit of work though.

"maybe consider editing the AI output once it's given you a second draft?".

I would completely rewrite the LLM output. Use it as a researcher or idea generator.
