It’s a thing I changed my mind on, based on your comments and my re-reading it more critically (and really, reading it thoroughly at all). It’s a perfect reminder to me of one of the main failure modes of LLM assistance—it’s good enough at first glance that it’s easy to forget to apply the same level of self-critique and thought one does for direct writing.
I don’t have a good way to detect this failure mode in myself, let alone others, but it’s very apparent when I look, and is probably common enough that “is it substantially AI” is an ok proxy for “is it low-quality”. This is a reversal of my previous position, though I still suspect it won’t last for long.
