Wrote a bit about why LLM-written text is so painful, even when the content itself is fine, and the importance of using your own voice jola.dev/posts/the-so...

Love this! Thanks for elucidating your thoughts, and declaring your dedication to doing the work. And thanks for sharing the LLM section of Oxide RFD 576 by @bcantrill.bsky.social, the desire as a reader to know the author had worked to understand what they’re writing.

With any creative act, I want to know there was someone going through something—a struggle, a realization, growth, failure—real life stuff. Even, nah, especially if it’s heady and materialized as fiction.

After meditating on my own thoughts, this sounds like I value the creation because it’s hard—nah—it’s the unique filter. I read authors because the qualities of their unique voices fit me well. They might have honed their craft, and do it quite effortlessly, or understand deeply through experience.
