The thing about using LLMs for blogging is that, like, I totally get it. Plagiarism is really seductive, even when working on hobbies and passion projects. In fact I once stole a whole essay about space vehicles in the far future from some archived GeoCities blog and just added my stuff on at the end. I was sooooo proud of that essay.

And then my mom found out and gave me a talking-to and I never did it again. Because I was 15. Grow the fuck up
