How To Write With An LLM
Simon Willison endorses Thomas Ptacek's rules for using LLMs as copyeditors rather than ghostwriters, banning suggested phrasing.
Simon Willison highlights Thomas Ptacek's essay on writing with LLMs, endorsing the rule that no word or phrase suggested by a model may be used in published prose. Willison says he uses LLMs only for fact-checking, spelling, grammar, and as an occasional thesaurus, never to draft blog content. He frames the no-suggested-phrasing rule as useful discipline against recognizable AI output.
