> In large part, the discrepancy has to do with the point of human-authored writing itself. More than just a utilitarian way to get information across, most pieces of writing also provide a crucial window into the author's feelings, beliefs, and thinking process. Right. I think one of the biggest impacts LLMs have is how they enable cheap counterfeiting of various signals humans have traditionally used for things like "interested and engaged" or "has invested time in this" or "emotionally cares". The effect is already undeniable in the context of students cheating on homework. In some cases, this debasement of a metaphorical currency will kill off things that kinda deserve it, like job-application cover letters... but in other cases, it'll be hard to restore trust.
