      on one hand i use llm’s quite a bit, and sometimes to edit writing
      
      on the other hand if i see an llm-ism in something im reading i’m just gonna disengage and scan the rest or close the tab
      
      i’m not sure that’s internally consistent

      What's your specific use case?

      when you dig into the history of menswear, you find the same stories repeated. men who moralize traditional aesthetics rarely consider how their "tradition" was considered a corruption by an earlier generation, who wore things hated by people before them
