Personally, I don't have any electronic drudgery to outsource. However, I do have to deal with all the ways that AI has made my life worse.

Really? You don't write dockerfiles, ansible playbooks, never wanted something rewritten into typescript so that it also works client-side, or get stuck in some cloud console?

So much of the drudgery in my day to day is dealing with corporate red tape and ensuring my team is producing the right thing. LLMs don't help much in that regard.

The hard part (where I work) was never the code, it was all of the other BS that needs done (a lot of which happens in crusty old systems that look like they're from the mid 2000's)

Are you asking why emotions aren't logical?

NO, I'm saying they're controllable, so why let something make you angry if you can't do anything about it. And if you can, choose a different path of motivation.

Oh. Because they often aren’t controllable.

I think what the parent poster is getting at is that "LLMs don't sound natural". People don't write the same way an LLM does, which leads to a kind of 'uncanny valley' effect when reading AI text. Over time, I suspect both human and AI writing will 'converge'. Humans are good at adopting/imitating language from a variety of sources, so I won't be surprised when we start using "load-bearing" in conversation. Simultane…

That's in fact not what they said, though.

It is
