What is it with cool projects using LLMs to write their blog posts? If i'm honest I'd rather see it the other way around, tasteful agent coding with a genuine write-up. Reading AI blog posts make me vomit. Why even start a blog post if you can't be fucked to write?

Yeah.

"The sequence is the whole story: overflow, then reduce, then squeeze, then stop when nothing can die."

"the decoupling is complete: skill is cheap, taste is scarce, and nobody trained to spot it."

"That is the handicap, and it is the whole game."

Given the nature of this project, why write it up with slop?

It sounds logical. The people who are attracted to one kind of low-effort output will be attracted to other kinds of low-effort output.

I think people write a rough draft and let AI clean it and fill in the gaps, which leads to all usual phrases. I suspect some people have become so reliant on this they're now desensitized to AI speak.
