Calculators have never been the medium in which we communicate our human experience and knowledge transfer. Calculators aren't part of the social fabric or culture. Very 2d extrapolation that somehow resulted in an alleged parallel. Language is woven deeply into civilization and our histories & been a part of our species literal survival against the most unforgiving odds/environments. Using what is effectively a ghost writer nukes trust. You cannot ascertain anything about the person behind the blog if it's clear they used AI to write it. And without that there's no way to infer expertise, rule out hallucinations, falsehoods presented as matter of fact, and the whole broad set of things LLM's get wrong because of their limitations as a technology. I have literally nothing to go off of that would prove this person knows what they are talking about. Why would anyone want to consume that?
Would it kill anyone at all to add a preamble that is forthcoming about using AI to write something? A chance to say these are my ideas and I've used claude to help me state it eloquently because etc ? Not doing that, presenting as more capable/knowing than one probably is, is what destroys trust immediately the moment it's sniffed out that AI was used to write something.
It's irresponsible, a self-nerf, and it's annoying. Venn diagram there is basically a circle. We're all familiar with how vibe coding appears to weaken your ability to write code, like skipping the gym and expecting good muscle density. All I'm saying is people shouldn't be skipping the gym for literally communicating with each other because there's gonna be a lot of times in life where you're not gonna be able to whip out chat jippity to continue a real conversation with another person. Ceding that turf means you're willingly trading your ability to deal with real life scenarios with other human beings for short term gain. It's funny how the universe tends to find balance. Yeah, being well read and expressing ideas well is a skill, it takes work.
