I do not hold with the detractors. I've personally known people who write like this since before LLMs were a thing. I rarely use LLMs, and come from the days of "expert systems" and the tail end of when universities had hundreds of typewriters in a room.

So perhaps, that's my bias: towards a former reality.

I often find myself wondering at a random HN commenter's flaming of a post for being full of AI slop, when the accused reads like normalspeak to my half-old eyes.
