When you notice that it's LLM prose, it's terrible, yes.

I have seen some examples of what I thought was very impressive writing that the "author" subsequently confessed was at least heavily AI-assisted. It does take quite a bit of prompting work, apparently. But a few people I've encountered (probably they trend neurodivergent) seem to feel like LLMs have given them a voice, at least in written communication, when they would otherwise struggle to write anything at all (despite adequate skill at English).

At any rate, overall I agree with this piece and it resonates with thoughts I've been having. Although I haven't really feel compelled to elaborate on them at this level. There are too many things I'd like to say about AI to give them this kind of love and attention.
