When I push back, I get two reactions. Authors say that it just helps them express themselves. AI promoters say "get used to it".
I don't think we should: it boils down to asymmetry. Our time here is limited. Social interaction on the internet breaks down if it takes ~0 effort to publish, but readers are still expected to use their own eyeballs and brains to engage.
So, I feel that we have three choices:
1) Refuse to engage with LLM writing *no matter if the article makes a good point or not*.
2) Embrace it and have my agent argue with your agent forever, for internet points.
3) Call it quits and move to an off-the-grid cabin in the woods.
@lcamtuf I don't understand the "LLM helped the poor sod whose first language is English express himself" point because every time I read an LLMism like "it is not x, its y" I feel like a part of my soul has been devoured. Bad human-written prose is better than copy-pasting LLM generated text. At that point, the friction of constructing prose which makes your thoughts coherent has been eliminated. No one should waste time reading it.

@lcamtuf option 3 is much more rewarding at least
