I didn't catch that you were talking about writers who use LLMs to write here. Your quote I was responding to was:
"They don't even seem to realise they're basically killing their profession/passion in doing so, although I doubt any writer with an ounce of self respect, passion and skill would perceive llms as anything other than repulsive monstrosities"
The authors I referenced here all seemed not to perceive LLMs as "repulsive monstrosities".
I write a lot myself and I don't let LLMs write for me (beyond the occasional auto-complete to spell a word correctly - and some API documentation the other day, which was a big break from the norm for me.)
I think not letting LLMs put words in your mouth is a sensible policy for professional writers. Good writing involves caring about every word.
I love LLMs as a thesaurus though, because they help me get to the right word so much quicker!
