100% agree with all of this, and also why I think it’s important for authors to develop a sense of rigor, of wanting to work hard and make your work the best that it can be (and develop the skill to know when its not there yet), because you can’t guarantee anyone else will care as much as you do.

Not to attempt Discourse, but 3-item lists are not proof of AI writing. Human writers just LOVE 3-item lists, so AI mimics it. Long before LLMs, I was highlighting two or three or more lists per paragraph and begging writers to resist the urge. Same goes for em dashes. It’s us. The problem is us.

Combining the 8.4 million individual exposures (2TB of data) into a single keogram covering the 4 years from 2021 upto 2025 shows the repeated change in length of the night, and also highlights the small differences in sunset and sunrise times due to the eccentric orbit of the Earth around the Sun.

For the 4th year in a row, my all-sky camera has been taking an image of the sky above the Netherlands every 15 seconds. Combining these images reveal the length of the night changing throughout the year, the passage of clouds and the motion of the Moon and the Sun through the sky. #astrophotography

This image shows the hourglass shape of the nights shortening and
lengthening from winter to summer and from summer to winter, passing
clouds, the Moon passing through the night sky every month (diagonal
bands) and the Sun climbing higher in the sky during summer.
