    “The AI wrote it, so it must be good” is a trap, and a poor excuse to ignore a human edit. At the very least:

    - Rewrite the headings
    - Remove useless adverbs (AI loves “actually”)
    - Check that the flow of ideas is coherent.
    - Check for accuracy.
    - Ask yourself “Does this sound like me?” (Or whatever voice is required)

    Otherwise, your writing will sound the same as all the other copy-pasted AI slop, and you risk having your work ignored.

    I feel as though I’ve been reading more books as a defensive reaction to all this AI nonsense. Like my brain is trying to preserve its ability to recognize good human writing. I think I need to re-read a style guide like “The Sense of Style” too.
