| I cannot know for sure it was LLM generated, but there were hints in the prose, content and timing. A large portion of the email was written in markdown -- which is something no human does in an email, and then there was the "You're absolutely right!! ... " response we've all seen in our chats. Finally, it was also filled with a general level of 'excitement' most humans never have, and the entire email lacked a 'soul'. |

| If you abdicate this to an LLM, you've stopped thinking, and your 'content' does not deserve anyone's time. With code this is even more pronounced. A pull-request, even a badly written one, if created by a human, is deserving of at least a review -- but a pull-request written automatically by AI in seconds, with minimal effort is deserving of nothing! |

Hyphenated the compound adjective 'LLM-generated' because it modifies the noun 'email response' and precedes it.

| I cannot know for sure it was LLM generated, but there were hints in the prose, content and timing. A large portion of the email was written in markdown -- which is something no human does in an email, and then there was the "You're absolutely right!! ... " response we've all seen in our chats. Finally, it was also filled with a general level of 'excitement' most humans never have, and the entire email lacked a 'soul'. |

Capitalized 'Markdown' as it is a proper noun/trademark, and replaced the double hyphen with an em dash.

| If you abdicate this to an LLM, you've stopped thinking, and your 'content' does not deserve anyone's time. With code this is even more pronounced. A pull-request, even a badly written one, if created by a human, is deserving of at least a review -- but a pull-request written automatically by AI in seconds, with minimal effort is deserving of nothing! |

Changed 'pull-request' to 'pull request' (noun form), replaced the double hyphen with an em dash, and added a closing comma after 'minimal effort' to balance the parenthetical phrase.

| Amazon's writing culture was a remarkable thing, a culture that is now being eaten alive by GenAI slop (apparently!). Writing is a wonderful thing; you can bluff your way through a slide-deck or a verbal presentation, but it's impossible to bluff your way through a written 6-page document. |

Corrected 'slide-deck' to 'slide deck' as it is generally treated as two separate words without a hyphen.

| A well-written article is a sign of clarity. If you're unable to write one, it just means you haven't thought things through yet. Writing (and rewriting) your thoughts over and over again clarifies the thoughts in your mind and solidifies your understanding. | ||

| So if you send me AI slop, I will disregard it. I will not expend my energies on something you yourself did not feel worthy of your attention. I suspect many others feel the same way -- so think wisely before you allow a bot to send your emails. |
