I just find it to be utter dreck. It has one of the most agitating prose styles I've ever seen. I would legitimately rather read actual broken English than the cliché polished turds Claude pops out. I am not an LLM hater, I think these tools are pretty impressive and often even useful, but even if I didn't care about the fact that I want to read communication from humans and not robots (and I do care about that, FWIW) I just find the current LLMs are horrid at writing.

And while the comments are always flooded with people like me, the upvotes seem to tell a different story; clearly LLM writing really does appeal to some people. Or idk, maybe a lot of people who vote on stories and don't comment don't actually read them. Hard to say for sure.



I think it’s just people don’t read before voting, they upvote on the headline and then come to discuss it here.
