胡子哥 @notsaved.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I think what LLMs are doing to writing is actually great because they lowered the bar of average, functional writing so much that now you can actually raise the bar for communicatively intentional writing and just use that to evaluate an assignment or a report 110
