That's very elitist and unfair to people who previously struggled to form their words but now have a better chance at doing so.

An elitist attitude towards plagiarists is common.

Also elitist attitudes towards people for whom English isn’t a native language, elitist attitudes towards people with dyslexia and other conditions that make writing difficult, and elitist attitudes towards people with lower education levels.

The BBC used to encourage its announcers to use Received Pronunciation, which was associated with high social class.

The solution to this form of elitism was not to make everyone speak RP, but to encourage non-RP accents, which is more common in the modern BBC.

Your comment seems elitist by encouraging the use of artifice to fit better into an elitist world, rather than breaking down elitism.

I disagree, because those aren't their words.

Do we care about words or thoughts? Many folks are more interested in semantic meaning than character sequences. To each their own of course.

One problem I see with the broader use of LLMs these days is the death of literacy.

For example, you chose to read my response and attack the vocabulary as if that was the point I was trying to make. This is a misunderstanding. I am purposefully reusing the word choice of the comment I'm replying to.

I was trying to very concisely point out that if an LLM is generating your writing it is not your words or your thoughts that you're trying to communicate.

How'd you learn to write?
