"LLM paragraph will register to much of your audience not as writing but as output"
The best advice for writing for other humans is: don't use LLMs.
If you're writing for machines, liking coding, then fine go for it. If you're writing for processes with formal highly structured content like manuals, specifications, form content, procedures, information, that sort of thing, then also ok to use LLMS. But if you're writing for a human mind to ingest and extract meaning from, then LLMs are poison.
Interesting way to put it because it means in most professional software development contexts, it is also NOT appropriate for coding since other human will work on the same codebase, at least review the submitted code. So... according to this (IMHO pragmatic) heuristics it's only acceptable for coding alone, e.g. weekend project that won't be pushed online. Unless code has no meaning beside the output it produces, which does exist but I would wager is rare.
That comparison isn’t automatically valid, because the criteria for what makes acceptable code are very different than for natural language prose.
It’s perfectly possible to consider e.g. working, LLM generated, human approved code acceptable, while considering LLM writing that hasn’t undergone major human editing unacceptable because of its repetitious, formulaic, marketing-oriented style - a criticism that doesn’t even make sense for LLM generated code.
