That is probably around 0.0001% of all code deployed.

Your analogy breaks down because code is not heavily regulated as cars are. This is worth saying precisely because of this difference - people see huge amounts of bad code generate…

Typography is not related to literacy. If you’re going to insist on em-dashes at least choose the right word.

Yes that’s right, I and many other readers think the author is probably lying when they say they didn’t use AI.

No, because the writing is objectively bad in ways that LLMs excel in producing. Either they used an LLM or they have no taste and have used LLMs far too much elsewhere.

Was part of this incorrect?

I had a look at their blog page out of curiosity, not that you can prove much from the purported dates and text on a blog, which could be edited at any time. The blog posts from 20…

Well this will certainly be an interesting test of your unbounded faith in a singularity based on word generators. When do you expect them to become a ‘centicorn’ based on this fab…

The president openly lies all the time. About his pool refurbishment, the size of his crowds and even how good he is at golf.

In the past window could mean a glass door? I wasn’t aware of that, please forgive my ignorance. A minor point anyway and most problems were stylistic. I think it is clearer in the…

Without understanding they have no way of judging the competence of Claude and the slop it generates. So yes they should just file a ticket the old way, after doing the actual hard…

Sorry, I'm not doing all that work for you, I read the first one and was sick of parsing it for meaning by the end. The work you posted was distinctly unimpressive, particularly as…

I’m sorry but this isn’t very good, problems from a cursory look: Stuffed full of adjectives, a common problem when LLMs attempt to make the text literary. Stuffed full of incident…

Show me some examples of good long form text please. Your hedging in reply (perfectly functional) does not inspire confidence.

I’ve certainly heard from LLM operators that there is a lot of skill in developing prompts and guiding their agents, but frankly it doesn’t seem like there is much benefit at that …

No the second 40 hours is a real 40 hours (two weeks), and the implication is there is no real time saving.

But they generate objectively bad text. Why do you need an assistant to do that? Perhaps for some uses (say a summary of some business document, or generating code which is then di…

No, this is a problem with the nature of LLMs and the text they generate.

I'd want to read it before passing judgement on the quality of it, not trust the word of the author's agent, one Marc Gerald of 'Europa Content', who you are quoting here. It appea…

GAI is also being used by prospective authors applying to publishing houses, and they are in fact flooded with dross created with it, which is a serious problem for them. To the ex…

Or maybe we just collectively impose severe social sanction on people trying to pass off low effort slop as their own work and stop calling it ‘artificial intelligence’?

It’s easier than actually writing, which is very hard to do well; authors spend years working on books. Doesn’t really matter what the original motivation was (money, reputation, f…
