    I think it's good advice. I find it a bit funny the author said to not use a single word coming out of the LLM, but they probably did just that because I never heard a human being say "load-bearing" before but now it's all over the place, also used here. Or I don't get the irony.

      If you’re familiar with tptacek’s writing you would be confident this is deliberate and recognize it as an ‘I see what he did there’ moment.

      If not, it does risk planting the seed of doubt - have I been duped once again into reading tokenslop again?

      Risky move. Surprised the LLM copy editor didn’t flag it.
