"If I cared as much as I want you to, I'd have written a shorter article"

This was so wordy I had to ask an LLM to tell me what the point is.

So you don't have to:

"you don’t have to embrace a trend, tool, or narrative simply because others say you should — especially if it doesn’t resonate with you or align with your values"

An important new twist to add to the great AI versus NO AI discussion.

Every time I check this comment section, this sentence jumps out at me again. You "had to" ask an LLM. You "had to".

Bully for them I guess. Thanks for finishing that.

Either they actually wrote all that on their own, or they had an LLM spew it. Either way, why? They had a valid point; you don't have to use LLMs to write your stuff. Why bury that point in this insane pile of verbiage?

But thanks for saving the rest of us. This is why I read the comments first.
