Speak like a human

I don't want to read any more text written by an LLM.

There's something nauseating about investing your attention into a long paragraph, to understand what the author is trying to tell you, only to suddenly realize there is no author.

True, some author prompted the LLM, but I'll understand more and faster from reading the prompt than reading the output.
At that point, please just send me the prompt or some bullet points.
I promise you it will be more useful to communicate that way and I won't get offended if it's terse/blunt/messy.

What will offend me is if you waste my time by hiding your meaning inside a mountain of words masquerading as human thought.

Don't get me wrong, I think AI tools are great for:

• Research
• Generating ideas
• Flagging your mistakes

But the words you intend other people to read, those are sacred.
They need to be your own words, otherwise you're the grandma from the 90s forwarding email spam.
It's an abuse of the unspoken communication contract between people.

This doesn't mean you should generate the first draft with an LLM and play editor at the end to wipe away some of the machine stink.
That's still rude and a waste of my time.
If it didn't take you time to write it, it's not worth anyone's time to read it.

Written text doesn't need to be long or fancy.
I want to know what you have to say. I don't care what the robot in the middle thinks.
