Our readingWhat is a korrent?

Readers would rather read a person's "bad" writing than polished AI writing, because even one AI-written sentence is easy to spot.

Drawn from what Steve Yegge said

What these subjects mean

writing Prose as thinking: writing well, writing by hand while a model offers to do it, and who will still be able to.

AI writing Prose a model wrote: what gives it away, what it does to reading, and whether anyone should publish it.

Why does writing matter, now that a model can write for you?under our view: Readers would rather have a person's own rough words than polished machine prose

What Steve Yegge actually said

    And second, we would all rather read your "bad" writing than polished AI writing. Trust me on this one. We can spot even one sentence of AI writing and it stinks.
