Curious how you see low-effort writing as a "shallow dismissal" or "tangential"

Everything is low-effort writing if your judgement is ideologically charged. Just read the damn post, it's very good, there's nothing low effort, but you need to read it as one single piece, not dissect it looking for hints of LLMisms, killing the article in the process.

Also if you think LLMisms so bad it's spam, you also don't get a free pass. From the guidelines:

  If a story is spam or off-topic, flag it. Don't feed egregious comments by replying; flag them instead. If you flag, please don't also comment that you did.

Who said I was "ideologically charged"? I like AI and I use it every day. I simultaneously hate AI writing. It is impossible to parse. If you can read it fine, good on you, but you seem to fundamentally misunderstand that other people perceive the world differently than you do. No one is "dissecting" this article under a microscope, it's obvious.

Understanding isn't a prerequisite for following the community guidelines. Everyone here is guilty of this, me included to be feeding this pointless discussion, and it's a bit disappointing from the mods not to terminate this thread. Either that or kill the main post. Keeping both up is contradictory.

As I already stated, it's only against your personal interpretation of the rules -- an interpretation that has curiously few other subscribers. Saying "the community guidelines mean what I want them to mean, now stop talking" is not a way to argue your point.

Care to say why my interpretation is wrong other than lack of subscription, because from where I'm standing, I'm the only one weaving any form of logical interpretation while your argument is basically "what a loser"
