I tried to give some justification in the revision, but I'm 
unfortunately very limited compared to LLM to give verbose details. 
Basically my few encounters with such contributions made me feel 
stressed an uneasy that I prefer to no longer dealing with them.  It is 
very disturbing to suggest a non trivial change to "someone" and that 10 
minutes later a new revision pops up, and you need to spend an extra 
hour re-reading it and finding how subtlety wrong it might be, or 
uselessly verbose / bloated. Usually (with human output) 90% of the 
sweet is for the PR author and 10% for the reviewer. With LLMs, this is 
reversed. Humans cannot fight against machines.  And let be frank, I 
hate this whole ecosystem & hype & circus.
