"98% of readers prefer imperfect-yet-authentic human writing; most will stop reading, block you, and downvote you if they suspect AI
[..]
TL;DR Readers really despise and distrust articles that seem shaped by AI. They not only stop reading, but also block and punish the author."

@SaraSoueidan@front-end.social "if they suspect AI" is doing a lot of heavy lifting. I've sadly noticed too many people boycott articles that were written by people because they or somebody else falsely claim LLMs. We're in hell where people are going to "immediately stop reading" without proof for posts which were not LLM "assisted" due to their own anxieties more than anything else.
