You are responding to the original article, authored by John Gruber, who, last I checked, has been writing his own damn text multiple times every damn day for multiple decades as a primary vocation.
I’m willing to venture that Gruber is on the list of folks that get to hold the opinion choice of words matters.
Holding that opinion is fine; holding that opinion while using LLMs to probabilistically choose words for you doesn't add up. You want carefully chosen words? Read a book, or write your own. An LLM is not carefully choosing anything, it's providing words based on probabilities.
