I got distracted a few paragraphs in by the realization that the text was AI-generated.

I first write my entire text and then after that I use a LLM to fix the grammar and have a better flow. I'm doing my best but I'm not a native US speaker. Before LLMs, people complained about the weird sentences or mistakes I made. Pick your poison ;)

Anyway, I'm doing my best to keep my own "signature" in writing, but it's really hard when you see a better phrasing generated on your original more limited vocabulary. But anyway, I'll do better next time, thanks for the feedback!

Comparing it to the LLM's previous post on your blog, it's a little better - that one's got far more of the superfluous analogies and interrupting em-dashes. I honestly think you'd be better off posting your own writing put through DeepL than letting the LLM churn it into mediocrity.

Kudos for owning it so earnestly

LLMs don't have good "flow" either. Their signature style is full of clichés. Personally, I would prefer to read the quirky non-idiomatic structures of a foreign language speaker than something fixed by an LLM.

Give DeepL Writer a try.
