I do usually do a pass through Grammarly, and there are some times when I ask AI for help getting my point across. But I always try to change what they write into something I feel I would say.
I'm the first to say I'm not the best writer...

Or is this also true: "I don't change what a LLM writes so long as it doesn't seem like something I would write"
It's just like vibe coding it's the new normal. We don't notice our own unique voices when writing. But as a collective we do notice LLM voices.
Submissions are different than comments in HN rules - don't worry about it.

Don’t take too much from these comments. HN has an unrelentingly negative tone.
Stuff like this:
> Each one of these, on its own, is just a bug. Together, they’re a culture.
And the headings starting with "The"
AI seems to have adopted a style reminiscent of startup marketers circa 2020 - really simple, lots of one liner quips and far too much incredulity about minor things. Now we've come full circle!
