Did you use an LLM for the blog post? it reads like it in places.

I have raycast shortcut for fix grammar, it might done more damage than adding a, an, the or changing tenses.

A content-free 2nd "paragraph" like this turned me off immediately.

The people who are interested in RTK and in criticism of RTK aren't interested in pablum like this.

ok, this one is all mine. So that's even more hurtful as this is 100% me

this is aboslutely entirely written by AI

As an author of the text, I can say you are „absolutely” not correct. I might be already spending too much time with llms and they start to shape my texts, so I am not proud of that either. But thanks for bringing very valuable insight to otherwise interesting discussion.

I hope you do take this to heart and stop using LLMs in any form for writing, people are not telling you this just to annoy you but because you owe your readers more than that. LLMs generate superficially plausible text, not good writing, use your own voice always.

> they start to shape my texts

I'm a bit curious about this? What draws you to speaking like an LLM rather than your own voice? I've personally never felt compelled to be more llm like in my writing.
