A survey to see why/how people were having LLMs write their articles. Some findings:
- 40% of “always-LLM” writers never wrote before, 20% rarely wrote before
- 72% of those who generated LLM drafts performed substantial editing, 23% totally rewrote the drafts
- Only 13% felt LLMs captured their voice, only 11% felt LLMs captured their ideas
- 73% did not disclose that they used LLMs to write
Only 13% felt LLMs captured their voice, only 11% felt LLMs captured their ideas.
That's what's wrong with LLM writing - it doesn't capture the author's voice. I can't hear a human back there. In a world where more and more people are feeling starved for human connection, that's fatal.
Also fatal: failing to capture the author's ideas. I mean, "author", why are you even bothering to shove this stuff out on the net, if it doesn't actually say what you want to say?
