@darth Your work would benefit greatly from a clear declaration of whether or not AI assistance was used. With this writing style, I can't help but slopvestigate

@darth @ariarhythmic I don't want to speak for the OP, but their request was pretty straightforward: if an LLM is helping with the writing, disclose that.

If you don't want to do that, fine, it's your blog. (It makes me want to not read it, but still.)

But if that's your position, just own it. Don't fall back on excuses.

@darth did you use an LLM to edit parts of this? I get a little bit of the LLM smell but they *were* trained on real humans and there's not enough for me to definitively think you did or didn't

@darth I don't want to read or watch anything that had any amount of AI involved in it's creation.

I'm disappointed to hear you debased yourself and your writing in this way.

Hire a human editor, or do it yourself, but for fuck's sake, don't reach for an LLM.

@darth @ariarhythmic you can't "add value to [the] Free Software community" using a tool designed to exploit and extract value for large corporations. This is not giving anything back, it's just enriching the thieves and being lazy.

@darth @ariarhythmic If you needed assistance from a human co-writer, editor or translator, how would you disclose that? You'd put their name on it somewhere.

It's less important if it's a one-off thing, but if you are leaning on the LLM to produce much or most of your work it seems fair to mention that. Particularly since you are going to get complaints that your text reads like all the other LLM-generated text out there anyway. At least then nobody feels tricked.

@ariarhythmic @darth that is helpful, yes, but it’s cheapened by your use of LLMs.

There’s no ethical way to use LLMs in the way that they exist currently.

@darth @ariarhythmic adding my voice that I did want to read your post after seeing this quoot but now that I know that an LLM was involved I won't. I don't mind if your english isn't that good.

@darth @ariarhythmic

you’re forgetting the option of using a traditional/non-LLM spellcheck program. Like the one in LibreOffice.

There are also some decent grammar suggestions in there usually. But speaking as both a native English speaker and someone who hates AI on principle, I would far prefer bad grammar in English than anything that’s been touched by an LLM.

@ariarhythmic @darth

Ignore them, they’re not worth your time. And they’re saying some pretty fascist stuff
