Idk how I feel about this take, tbh. Do things the old way because I like them that way seems like poor reasoning.
If folks figure out a way to produce content that is human, contextual and useful... by all means.
It's insulting to read AI-generated blog posts

Re: It's insulting to read AI-generated blog posts
#92I personally don’t think I care if a blog post is AI generated or not. The only thing that matters to me is the content. I use ChatGPT to learn about a variety of different things, so if someone came up with an interesting set of prompts and follow ups and shared a summary of the research ChatGPT did, it could be meaningful content to me. > No, don't use it to fix your grammar, or for translations, or for whatever el…
I think the author’s point is that by exposing oneself to feedback, you are on the receiving end of the growth in the case of error. If you hand off all of your tasks to ChatGPT to solve, your brain will not grow and you will not learn.

#93It's similarly insulting to read your AI-generated pull request. If I see another "dart-on-target" emoji... You're telling me I need to use 100% of my brain, reasoning power, and time to go over your code, but you didn't feel the need to hold yourself to the same standard?
You know you can AI review the PR too, don't be such a curmudgeon. I have PR's at work I and coworkers fully AI generated and fully AI review. And
Hahahahah well done :dart-emoji:

> It would be more human to handwrite your blog post instead.
“Blog” stands for “web log”. If it’s on the web, it’s digital, there was never a period when blogs were hand written.
> The use of tools to help with writing and communication should make it easier to convey your thoughts
If you’re using an LLM to spit out text for you, they’re not your thoughts, you’re not the one writing, and you’re not doing a good job at communicating. Might as well just give people your prompt.
Re: It's insulting to read AI-generated blog posts
#95What amazes me is that some people think I want to read AI slop in their blog that I could have generated by asking ChatGPT directly. Anyone can access ChatGPT, why do we need an intermediary? Someone a while back shared, here on HN, almost an entire blog generated by (barely touched up) AI text. It even had Claude-isms like "excellent question!", em-dashes, the works. Why would anyone want to read that?
In that case, I'd say maybe you didn't have the wisdom to ask the question in the first place? And maybe you wouldn't know the follow up questions to ask after that? And if the person who produced it took a few minutes to fact check, that has value as well.

This.
It's about to find the sweet spot.
Vibe coding is crap, but I love the smarter autocomplete I get from AI.
Generating whole blog posts from thin air is crap, but I love smart grammar, spelling, and diction fixes I get from AI.

Satire? Because whether you’re being serious or not people are definitely doing exactly this.
