Good. I don't want LLMs sounding human. I want the ability to shame and discredit anyone passing the job of prose to a machine. There's an art to writing, and hopefully LLMs never truly get it right.


Agreed. The only goal of these skills/tricks/requests for humanising LLM writing is to be able to pass it off as your own, because they know it's shameful and want to avoid the opprobrium.

Some will say it's just for their own quality of life when they're reading LLM output, or "just for docs", but this is an extremely marginal use case.


I don't want LLM docs either

What about people who don’t speak your language well?


I've dealt with many people by now who would copy and paste from an LLM for that exact reason, typically entirely unaware of how obvious it was that the result came from an LLM with no style guidance, and of course completely lacking any ability to verify that their intent was faithfully conveyed.

I would rather learn their language than continue interacting like that.


I deal with people in five other countries in a daily basis, and LLMs have only been a benefit in terms of improving communication.

You claim you’d “rather learn their language”, but it’s an empty claim. How many languages have you learned for this reason?
