I consider it epistemic violence that I occasionally discover, after the fact, that an LLM was used extensively in the writing process of a post.
Violence is a very loaded term, and calling use of LLMs for writing “epistemic violence” is a meme whose spread I resist absent explicit justification. How would you distinguish “epistemic violence” from an “epistemic pet peeve” or “epistemic risk?” Either of the latter seem to me obviously apt.
