Is a card in the mail insulting because I didn't bother to call?
Is a phone call insulting because I didn't offer to take you to dinner?
Is dinner insulting because I didn't get you a gift?
Is my gift insulting because it only cost $30?
Can't please everyone.
Could not agree more. If you're going to use a prompt that's a few bullets to write me an email just send me the prompt.
Everyone's gotten so tired of low-effort AI generated content now that text which looks vaugely AI generated is now dismissed or looked down on. I've begun purposefully introducing minor spelling / grammar errors into text I write and avoiding LLM smells like using 3 examples in a sentence lol
Does anyone have a guide or other suggestions to help make your text look more human?
Maybe we need a new dismissive shorthand for this? Something like tf;dr Turing (test) failed; didn't read
I completed a take-home project for a company I was interviewing with, and the interviewer remarked at how it was obvious my README.md was AI generated. It wasn't.

On the other side of the table: As long as all the info I need is in there I don’t care. In an interview of all places. Do they want people to spend actual time writing the readme instead of having a person good at time management generate and review it?’
The right response is to use AI to write a reply that is verbose and clearly sounds like AI.
And then you have AIs talking to each other slopping junk derived from minimal prompting back and forth. Why have humans at all? For discernment perhaps? Humans have an authentic connection to the real world.
> What is so insulting to me about those AI-written messages is that they take less time and consideration to produce than they do to consume. You are, by the nature of sharing these automated words, signaling to me that you care less about my time and attention than you do your own. Of course you’re free to believe that as much as you like—in your own head. Just don’t drop it into my inbox or feed. Because that’s ru…
It should be required that any AI generated text comes with prompt that created it. So I don’t have to use AI to reverse engineer TLDR.
> Presenting a friend or colleague with a note an AI wrote is like inviting them over for dinner and microwaving a Stouffer’s. An AI post on LinkedIn is bringing that same microwaved dinner to a potluck. You should be embarrassed in either case! Hey now, nothing wrong with a Stouffer's, especially for a potluck. Everyone else at the potluck is doing the same thing anyway.
