There is a higher tolerance for LLM-isms if you asked an LLM to write something for you

Elsewhere it’s painful and irksome when you didn’t ask for it

this is where I perhaps differ from other commenters, I do not have higher tolerance, regardless of whether I asked it or am reading something someone else posted, fully or partially written by LLM.

Perhaps English is not your first language? To people who are well-read, LLM-ism grate on their nerves like the high-pressure sales pitch you hear on 3am shopping channels.

This isn’t English first/second language thing to me. I find LLM writing unbearable (even with humanizer skills and all the other bullshit, I can smell it from a mile away). What I was trying to convey is that, to me, there is no difference in reading “can you summarize this shit for me” vs. reading someone’s blog, LLM-written/assisted, that did the same thing and posted it publicly. If I like/tolerate the former (I don’t), I’d like/tolerate the latter
