Its ironic that under an article with a ton of deep infrastructure insights half the comments are crying about the "forced writing style". What does it matter if claude helped the author clean up the text when inside is a ready-to-use blueprint on how to save 30% of the api budget and fix empty file reads?

One of many reasons I would assume is that people just hate anything related to AI, so they latch on to anything negative they can say.

Another reason is that they mean what they say... That they really, really hate the style of writing, enough to fixate on that.

Personally, I think the people whining about the style are silly. Maybe because I'm terrible at grammar and spelling, but I always just focus on the message, not the delivery. I just care about the concept, facts, the argument, and so forth. The actual grammar and spelling are just trees, while the forest is the point.

Edit: just an infobit: The reason my text isn't full of errors is due to the awesomeness of the dictation and a custom hotkey I have created on my computer, which uses a local LLM to spellcheck any text I have selected and replaces it with the corrected one. Nothing has improved my quality of life and writing more than these two tools!

On the infobit, I've been trying to build in a similar completely local LLM cleanup step into Epilude. Willing to share anything you've found especially useful in producing good spellchecks/cleanups in your local setup?
