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.
