The final question asked if readers would rather read the author’s authentic words – even with some awkward phrasing, grammar gaffes, and other nits. Or, do they prefer an LLM-polished version? 98% preferred the author’s own writing, as is. So writers, please – don’t let LLMs blandify your text. People would rather hear your authentic voice than suffer through an eerily soulless rewrite.
This is what people say now not how they act. Good spelling and grammar was often considered the personal hygiene of online communication. If your English is only slightly non-standard you will be called out, and I can only assume that a subset of readers will ignore and downvote you as well.
