For the record, I wrote it late at night and ran the response through an LLM to improve readability for her benefit.
This is IMO generally considered bad form on LW. Please clearly mark whether an LLM was involved in writing a comment, if the final content is not something that genuinely reflects your own voice and writing style and you hold it to the same standard as your own writing. Like, it’s OK to iterate on a paragraph or two with an LLM without marking that super prominently, but if you have a whole comment which clearly is a straightforward copy-paste from an LLM, that should get you downvoted (and banned if you do it repeatedly).
I assume you’re in agreement that the reason for this is as nicely stated by cata in this thread: LW contributors are assumed to be a lot more insightful than an LLM so we don’t want to guess whether the ideas came from an LLM. It’s probably worth writing a brief statement on this unless you’ve added it to the FAQ since I last read it
I think beyond insightfulness, there is also a “groundedness” component that is different. LLM written writing either lies about personal experience, or is completely absent of references to personal experience. That makes writing usually much less concrete and worse, or actively deceptive.
