I don't think we're quite there yet with the first option (the "perfectly written" part). But as a non-native speaker turned Brit, I would say, maybe a mix of both? Use LLMs to "proofread" your writing when needed, but always take the time to "re-proofread" the LLM version and make it a bit more human. It's... A time-consuming way of doing things, but it’s still better than blindly copying and pasting LLM-generated stuff.

Usually I go with the imperfect version, I think it allows the other to see into my thought process and way of looking at things better, I try to improve spelling and awful grammar, but intentionally leave some quirks in to show it's actually me speaking. When I try to use an ai polished version directly it just feels soulless and dull and I feel like it's a lack of respect for the other's time. However in professional and corporate settings I doubt if they prefer authenticity or correctness, with all the recent tech racism trend I fear for the consequences of speaking authentically from the near-shore. 😬

I know what I’m going to say may sound more aspirational than practical, IMMV, but if you’re in a position where you don’t need to bend your nature to please others, don’t volunteer to do it. Just be yourself. Despite not fitting US definitions of "whiteness", physically I’m as white as it gets. Unfortunately, the Tommy Robinson hooligan types often mistake me for one of their own until they hear me speak. Regardless of their level of wealth or education (here in the UK we have some Oxbridge-educated “Pub Landlord” types who would put Al Murray’s character to shame), the fact is: they are small. You are big. Don’t make yourself smaller for their benefit. And honestly, it’s fun to watch these muppets turn red shouting “I’m not racist!” without you even needing to say a word.

Why so much hate for tommy's followers?
