Martin Fowler warns that Large Language Models (LLMs) can subtly alter writing styles, leading to an "uncanny valley" effect when readers encounter LLM-generated content. To avoid this, authors should not rely on LLMs for drafting or editing, and instead, fill the prose themselves. Fowler suggests that using LLMs for tasks like outlining or research is acceptable, but authors should remain mindful of the potential impact on their writing style. AI summary
