#2For some reason I find Claude's writing often has an oddly condescending tone when it tries to be empathetic.

#3Reading this hurt so much. Please just write articles by hand. I don’t care about perfect grammar and I don’t care about your article sounding „native“ or not.
But I do care about not having to read the word „genuinely“ a hundred times just because Claude likes it so much.

I imagine they're going for avuncular but a lot of us as adult engineers receive it as patronizing.

#5This is too oddly written to read in its entirety and I don't get the point. I mostly still do things like it says it worked in 2008. The difference with the "modern" workflow with 1400 packages and a build system is that web pages I put online just work, unlike most modern website which are horribly bug ridden and take ages to load and render.

I'm having a similar reaction, and I wonder if because this style, tone, and tics are what I'm encountering while using AI tools, I instantly get a bad taste in my mouth when I see it in the context of something that's supposed to be written by a person. Like I reflexively discount it the moment I see its staccato little stylish flourishes and the same handful of "scar tissue" type analogies it seems to like to trot out again and again.

“Every tool is scar tissue over a real wound. Follow the wounds, and the map draws itself.
THE ONE IDEA THAT UNLOCKS EVERYTHING” uh-huh
I have noticed myself having a visceral reaction to the AI tells now, somewhere between disgust and anger. And I am not an angry man and I like AI! There is just something about the voice that is incredibly off-putting, like a know-it-all friend who just ripped a giant fart. It is annoyingly correct and also smells really bad.

Oh. I assumed an article that references hand-writing things would be hand written. Silly me :(

#10Too much text to explain to people who don’t need that much explaining. That’s the telltale sign of ai writing (ai intended).
