Tangent: what is the appeal of the “no capitalization” writing style? I never know what message the author is intending to convey when I see all lower case. Normally I can ignore it, but the font on this blog makes it hard to distinguish where sentences start and end (the period is very small and faint).

Tangent to the tangent! I've started using it professionally because it signals "I wrote this by hand, not AI, so you can safely pay attention to it." Even though in the past I never would have done it. In work chats full of AI generated slop, it stands out.

Do you mean like Teams AI autocomplete or people purposefully copying AI-generated messages into chats?

informality, humanity — we're in an age where we can't assume anything is written by a person anymore

Just weeks ago, the sentiment was such that developers would be managing AI workers. Now, it seems that AI will be managing the developers.

Nope, this is what the hype wants you to believe. You still have to do all the thinking as the current crop of AI is a tool at your disposal. A pretty impressive tool.

Can this thing deal with the insane way my children's school communicates? Actionable information (children wear red tomorrow) is mixed in with "this week we have been learning about bees" across five different communication channels . I'm not exaggerating. We have Tapestry, emails, a newsletter, parents WhatsApp, Arbour and Facebook. I guess the difficulty is getting the data into the AI.

That's six channels actually.

The latter. Using chatgpt to write their chat messages usually. Emoji, arbitrary bold and italics, bullets, etc.

This is a bot account. Last post in 2024, then in the last 25 minutes it has spammed formulaic comments in 5 different threads. If you were not able to instantly recognise this post as LLM-generated, this is a good example to learn from, I think. Even though it clearly has a prompt to write in a more casual manner, there's a certain feel to it that gives it away. I don't know that I can articulate all the nuances, bu…

for me, it's the bullet points with bold one-word sentences

Casual, informal, friendly, hip, young, etc.

Can make sense on twitter to convey personality, but an entire blog post written in lower case is a bit much.

Makes you reduce your guard to clearly AI generated content.
