Great piece about how readers seem to be revolting against LLM. I have a draft of something similar but this is better than what I had, so enjoy it. One thing I have been surprised by with LLMs is the speed by which normal people learned how to identify LLM text and how they hate it.
I assumed writing was gonna be the first to get killed, but it seems like LLMs are incapable of writing text people like to read. https://bcantrill.dtrace.org/2026/09/05/the-revolt-of-the-reader/
