Well, at some point in the writing process there is an opportunity to edit the text, I specifically didn’t for this post because I wanted to demonstrate the raw output of the process so as to make it easier to judge the process itself. Also my discount rate is such that short term gains in writing output quality-weighted are somewhat valuable.
Did you write this reply using a different method? It has a different feel than the original post.
Partway through reading your post, I noticed that reading it felt similar to reading GPT-3-generated text. That quality seems shared by the replies using the technique. This isn’t blinded so I can’t rule out confirmation bias.
ETA: If the effect is real, it may have something to do with word choice or other statistical features of the text. It takes a paragraph or two to build and shorter texts feel harder to judge.

I didn’t write that reply (or this one) using the method. IMO it’s more appropriate to longform.
