When LLMs get it right it's because they're summarizing a stack overflow or GitHub snippet it was trained on. But you loose all the benefits of other humans commenting on the context, pitfalls and other alternatives.

Wish they'd pray for forgiveness because then that would mean admitting mistakes.

I struggled with passive wording until I learned certain tells like my use of the word "would". Once you learn what words to look out for you start to actively reword things as you write them. Asking AI to rework your passive tone isn't going to rewire your brain to write better.
