I mean, I’m not the arbiter of anything… I think it’s “fine”, in that for example I wouldn’t suggest a moderator should delete the LLM version for being LLM. I do think that the LLM version is very slightly worse on net. The correct sentence structure and capitalization is probably an improvement, but for example it replaced
your own personal greed and material accumulation
with
your own gain, chasing wealth, status, or comfort
And I prefer your phrasing, it’s more interesting. The LLM basically replaced
they mixed and matched, they refined and innovated
with
combined
which is worse and less evocative. The LLM replaced
even for one other than you that doesn’t include your kids?
with
And no, that doesn’t mean leaving your assets to your kid.
It means showing up while you’re still alive and making a difference that extends beyond your own skin.
which is a totally different and much worse sentiment, unless that is actually what you meant.
Here is how I see this: It gives people with no talent in writing and/or are not native to a specific language to still write coherent, well structured writing. Now I agree that asking an LLM to write you something like “Give me a good story for my homework...” is not acceptable, but if you use it as a smart type writer that can give you alternative/more clear ways of saying what you want to say, and you actually put the effort to create exactly what you want and don’t just accept the default responses, but you are refining your own ideas, it is acceptable.
I’m sure many don’t agree, but still, for someone like me it is pretty helpful. I also suspect that if the AI doesn’t kill us all, in few years this way of writing is going to be as accepted as buying a professional edited book and not just reading the writer’s draft.
