Small private discord or slack servers meet this definition. I'm part of a few interest related ones and I'm glad to know members are more likely to be human than not
Don’t know how much longer that’ll last though.
I've had friendships broken because people couldn't understand why I didn't appreciate their "hard work" on writing a series of 10 articles they wrote with Claude. Mind you this person is an excellent writer, they had great success with ghost writing and running a small news website where they wrote and curated articles. But for some reason the opportunity for Claude to write stuff they can never have the time for is…
I do because you should be manually verifying anything you get out of the stochastic parrot before you present it to others - and that's going to be more than 0.01% of the work.
> When it comes to content.. This is the root cause of the problem. Labeling all things as just "content". Content entering the lexicon is a mind shift in people. People are not looking for information, or art, just content. If all you want is content then AI is acceptable. If you want art then it becomes less good.
> I can't imaging writing code by myself again, specially documentation, tests and most scaffolding Shouldn’t we bother to write these things?
"Growing up, typos and grammatical errors were a negative signal. Funnily enough, that’s completely flipped for me." For me too and for writing it has the upside that it's sooo relaxing to just type away and not worry about the small errors much anymore.
And there was no such word as "funnily" till the language got dumbed down to the lowest common denominator. Now we have to argue with the same dolts who use the word and will tell us about how it's now in the dictionary. Now it is to satisfy someone somewhere but no one who really knew better.

Autocorrect is going to make me sound like a dumbass anyway.
I call out articles on here constantly and have gotten kind of tired of it. Well, very tired of it. I am in full agreement with this post. I don't have any solutions though. Sometimes I don't call out an article - like the Hashline post today - because it genuinely contains some interesting content. There is no doubt in my mind that I would have greatly preferred the post if it was just whatever the author promoted t…
I laugh every time somebody qualifies their anti-AI comments with "Actually I really like AI, I use it for everything else". The problem is bad, but the cause of the problem (and especially paying for the cause of the problem)? That's good!
I laugh every time somebody thinks every problem must have a root cause that pollutes every non-problem it touches. It's a problem to use a blender to polish your jewelry. However, it's perfectly alright to use a blender to make a smoothie. It's not cognitive dissonance to write a blog post imploring people to stop polishing jewelry using a blender while also making a daily smoothie using the same tool.

It's not as one-dimensional as good vs bad. Transformers generally are extremely useful. Do I want to read your transformer generated writing? Fuck no. Is code generation/understanding/natural language interfaces to a computer good? I'd have to argue yes, certainly. I cry every time somebody tries to frame it one dimensionally.
I cry every time someone uses the f-word in their writing for no apparent reason.
I roll my eyes every time I see a coworker post a very a long message full of emojis, obviously generated by a LLM with 0 post editing. Even worse when it's for social communication such as welcoming a new member in the team. It just feels so fake and disingenuous, I might even say gross. I don't understand how they can think it's a good idea, I instantly classify them as lazy and unauthentic. I'd rather get texts fu…
Some people legitimately have no idea that others recognize and are offput by llm output. Also, i know a lot of non-native English speakers that use AI tools to "correct things". Because of the language barrier these people especially are less likely to ever be able to recognize the specific llm tone that precipitates.
