GPTs' historically aren't great at identifying their own work; if they could, AI-based cheating wouldn't be the problem it is at present. Assuming you're the OP, and this is your blog, let me give you some feedback: * Choosing your words carefully and communicating your ideas clearly are separate skills. You may have chosen the most precise language, but your ability to communicate ideas to as wide an audience as HN…
Great feedback, it's my first blog. I wanted to avoid my experience but I worked at FAANG and helped create a multi-billion dollar corporation (from a handful of people to 1,500 people).
Just like the first critique of mine above, the how of communication is just as important as the vocabulary used. Consider your description above with this reworked (organic, AI-free) example:
"Core contributor to mid-size successful startup"
Based on the limited information you gave me in your line, I rewrote it to give off a different tone and vibe. Now, instead of standing atop trophies ("FAANG") and leaderboards ("multi-billion dollar", "1,500 people"), the same description sounds more grounded in reality - a contributor as part of a larger whole, someone who seeks to do the same through their blog as opposed to someone commanding attention based on past glories alone.
This is what I mean when I say you may have chosen your words with specificity, but the way you string them together can have a more outsized impact than the words themselves. It's the same myth that a meal is just the sum of its ingredients, rather than the steps taken, the chaos managed, and the personal touches from experience or wisdom added into it that the recipe didn't cover.

I disagree here, being the founding engineer of a unicorn is quite a different experience than being a core contributor to a mid-size startup.

#34A bit of unsolicited advice: there's a reason we use the pyramid structure in essay writing: begin with your point and expand upon it. If someone (like me) is coming to this with no idea of who you are, who Spooner is in this context, or what the actual point of the piece is, it's a big ask to get them to read a lot of extremely dense prose to figure out what the hell you're actually discussing here. I mean, yeah, bo…
Thanks for the constructive feedback. I'll work on it.

Looks like you felt attacked by OP success/experience.

This sounds exactly like what you are doing. Your long replies even sound like chatgpt.

I had one sentence to work with; you have an entire career to draw from. My straw man rewording was literally just an example of impact through choice of words.
If you’re talking to someone in the startup sphere, the talk of being a founding engineer in a unicorn is excellent! If that’s not the audience you intend to reach, then it’s akin to an automotive designer discussing about how much downforce they generated through a modest angular adjustment to a spoiler design’s leading edge, while in the midst of casual conversation - lost in translation to anyone outside their field.

Lolz. Not the first time I’ve been accused of botting, but certainly the first time it’s happened in the context of a comment thread. I don’t know if I should savor the compliment that I annoyed you enough to scream into the void of a nested comment thread several layers down without meaningfully contributing to the discourse itself, or be annoyed myself that you’re comparing my bleary-eyed discourse in lieu of sleep to the token-predictive slop of a chatbot.
Por que no los dos, I guess?
