I think you should practice turning your loose collections of thoughts into more of a standard essay format. That is an important skill. You should try to develop that skill. (If you donāt know how to do that, try looking for online writing courses or MOOCs. There are probably some free ones out there.)
One problem with using an LLM to do this for you is that itās easy to detect, and many people find that distasteful. Whether itās fully or partially generated by an LLM, people donāt want to read it.
Another problem with using an LLM is youāre not really thinking or communicating. The act of writing is not something that should be automated. If you think it should be automated, then donāt post on the EA Forum and wait for humans to respond to you, just paste your post into ChatGPT and get its opinion. (If you donāt want to do that, then you also understand why people donāt want you to post LLM-generated stuff on here, either.)
case in point: you urging that i fall back on convention (āstandard essay formatā) to conform to this community. in fact, itās precisely why i even used the llm in the first place.
why is it that a raw, unrefined post albeit able to make a clear argument, cite sources, etc should be rejected because of formatting? it would appear optics are more important than ideas, no?
If the post is able to make a clear argument, thatās almost all that matters. If you think your loose collections of thoughts do make a clear argument, then that might be sufficient for an EA Forum post. Why I recommended āmore of a standard essay formatā is that this tends to be what makes an argument clear to the people reading.
The ideas are important, but communicating your ideas so that people can easily understand them is also important. You need both for a good essay, article, or blog, or for a good EA Forum post.
