I'm so tired of AI writing

It's a pity. Spending so much time to ship the CSS dream (clean, well-thought-out) and then using AI-talk to share it with the world.

The below is a selected copy of the blog post, unbelievable that it didn't get unslopped:

> [..] , and on a site like this one that matters more than architectural purity. [..] Nothing in it depends on a build step [..] That distinction is worth keeping in mind [..] What matters is [..]

And the entire analogy is incoherent.

And how all six people links are to LinkedIn, when most of them have websites. (Wouldn’t surprise me if some of the LinkedIn profiles were incorrect, but since you can no longer view anything on LinkedIn without having an account…)

I get the sentiment, but what if it was the difference between not getting the thoughts out there and being able to celebrate the fruits of their labor?

It's okay to exercise nuanced views (as well as choosing to say nothing.)

    what if it was the difference between not getting the thoughts out there and being able to celebrate the fruits of their labor?

I'm sure I don't know what implausible hypothetical scenario to which this could refer.

The "difference" is that of spending five entire minutes proofreading the output. But this blog post, like the other 98%, is once more the tasteless fruit of very, very little labor. Whether you value it or not, whether you are even able to recognize it anymore, writing for an audience is a skill.

I (and probably GP) feel legitimate dismay when I read the output of someone who had an obvious opportunity to exercise good taste for the benefit of the people who actually take the time to read it.

The continued inconvenience to you of reading opinions like this is obviously extremely unfortunate.

Maybe they ARE lazy. Maybe they are unapologetically bullish on AI AND they did it just to spite the haters.

But it’s also possible that they have other, more important stuff going on in their life? Or that they find writing legitimately difficult?

I’m not excusing anything, or saying that you can’t feel dismay or even sickened.

I was merely proposing another perspective, that’s all.

		Mostly, I have other, more important stuff going in my life. I did write a lot of this post myself, but used AI to flesh out some of the details because otherwise between my perfectionism and tendency to overthink blog posts, I would have never gotten around to publishing this.

AI loves an adverb. Even the title feels AI to me.

		"Honest" is not an adverb though? It's an adjective, the adverb would be "honestly".

Lol beat me to it

Came here to say the same. I closed the window on the spot. I don't even care if I miss out on something.
