Against the Quantification of Integrity
When the measure of language becomes its target, it ceases to be good language.

I disagree, what matters to me is that language stimulates parts of my brain which then translates into having new ideas. I absolutely do not care whether the text was written by a human or not here. The only question is whether it helped my understand something or framed it in a useful way.
Treating an essay written by expert, an essay by a crank and 100 essays written by LLMs leads not to an intellectual community. It leads to self delusion if you just pick whatever tickles your fancy.
Nowhere did I suggest anything of the sort. In fact, I was quite clear that focus should be on the quality of the content rather than style. Sounds like you’re arguing with a mirror here.
