I like the framing, and think this is important stuff, but I agree with Linch that the AI-flavor is grating and makes me wonder how much you stand by the words—if I object to a specific point, will you say that it’s just the AI being a bit fuzzy and I should instead just read your post directionally?
While it’s definitely a real thing that higher standards mean fewer posts, and this is something I’ve struggled with a lot personally, I also think it’s tremendously valuable to have posts where at least one person has carefully thought through all the words and how they fit together into a coherent argument.
Some norms I would like to see when folks use LLMs substantively (not copy editing or brainstorming):
explaining the extent of LLM use
explaining the extent of human revision or final oversight
ideally I’d love to know section by section. Personally I’d prefer it if authors only included sections they have reviewed and fully endorse, even if this means much shorter posts
not penalizing people who do 1) and 2) for keeping AI-speak or style
I think this unfairly discriminates against people who are busy, weak in writing and/​or English. I personally dislike it, but don’t think it’s fair to impose this on others
