    if i had a popular repo i think i would just ban the use of ai for written communication, with an exception for non-english speakers to append an ai-translated summary before their writing in their native language. i think people take more offence to the uncanny valley of ai writing than they do to mechanical fixes done by llms.

      this is an interesting perspective, it's the writeup which feels like AI Slop that triggers people
