I agree with the author, and I like how his (human) voice comes through loud and clear in this post.

I also find LLM-voices extremely jarring, boring, and dense. And very, umm, mechanical, if you will.

But I want to make an observation.

Folks are not-Ok reading the LLM’s output for prose.

But folks are completely Ok, even downright blind, to accepting LLM-output of code.

I see that dichotomy everywhere.

LLM-driven code: great, valuable, all-ok LLM-driven prose: not ok

Understood completely that the audience for consumption is two completely different entities (machines vs humans) but something about this doesn’t sit right with me.

More particularly: if we don’t prefer LLM-prose, why should we prefer LLM-code ??

Anybody else feels that ??
