There's probably some Dunning-Kruger when you don't notice crap writing. Compare the output of an LLM to Martin Amis, who chooses his words deliberately and with care:

Of course I don't expect human writing like his, but the typical LLMesque phrases are overused and just frustrates my brain when I see them yet again. In contrast, Amis' writing is delightful because it surprises.

what is this link for? i'm not understanding.
Sigh.

An example of "tasty" writing...

You wrote, in all lowercase, "i still tell it what to say." You can ask LLM to write something, and hypothetically, if he were still alive and you could persuade him enough (with a huge amount of money, maybe), you could ask Martin Amis to write you something. LLM will write something full of LLMesque phrasing, which many loathe (your post is flagged to death for a reason). Martin Amis will write you something which readers will find engaging and beautifully written. That's the difference.

And if you can't tell the difference, Dunning and Kruger wrote a paper about that.

No you don't.

Did you tell it this?

Shame on you.
