Don't use any words the LLM suggests and ignore its praise — instead use it like a copyeditor to catch mechanical problems you'd miss on your own. The author argues this keeps your voice intact while making editing faster and less exhausting.
- LLM-generated phrases register as "output" rather than writing to readers, so you need to write the whole piece yourself first and reject any specific wording the model proposes, no matter how good it sounds.
- LLM encouragement will trick you into keeping bad first-draft impulses you'd normally cut during revision, which is where your actual voice comes from.
- LLMs excel at spotting tedious mechanical problems — overused words, passive voice, repetition, buried verbs — work that's exhausting to do manually but essential to good editing.
