I completely agree. This authors first several paragraphs were terribly written. No concern for grammar or sentence structure, and a love of ampersands that speaks to a middle school level of writing. Someone suggesting that their writing skills are now "obsolete" due to ChatGPT might not have had appreciable skills in the first place. The troubling part is they now see the existence of this language model as a reason to entirely abandon any effort at improving. The ideal here seems entirely backwards.
