I actually think that this is a bigger problem than people using AI to
write code. If all the code is written by AI (and it will be) then
human-to-human communication is the way to build trust. Allowing AIs
to poison that breaks everything.

Honestly now I find it reassuring to see broken English, typos, lazy
markdown formatting, grammatical errors and so on because it is so
much better that I am talking to a real human. I think most people
using LLMs to write comments literally don't understand this and often
just need to be told.
