OP did this:
Prompted CC for all the points I wanted included (something like a 200 word prompt) and asked CC to draft it, including all the links added to the table I furnished. Then I edited the draft (about 50% then edited). Then asked CC to spellcheck and fixed the 5 it found.
replyThank you. It would have been nice to see you personalize the hook and show your storytelling voice the way you personalized your computer in the story, but we aren't all poets.
replyIf they basically generated a desktop for themselves, what’s the chance they didn’t generate the article? I think pretty slim.
replyAlso, reading it is probably not the intended use. It’s probably: “Hey Claude, give me a TLDR of this”
Who cares? It’s their content. If they hired an editor to help them, cool. If the content doesn’t suit you, move on.
replyBut the incessant “AI was used here, thus is it garbage” is long past time to enter the grave.
Many people care, with good reason. We learned to notice LLM-isms is because they are, in fact, a very strong predictor that a piece of text is in fact garbage that's not worth your time reading.
replyI usually stop reading at the first LLM-ism, but I found the premise of this post interesting enough to keep going - and guess what, the entire article was literally just "I prompt CC to make software tailored for me" blown out to 8 sections.
> Who cares?
replyI care, because it landed on the front-page of a website that I thought was about engineering and hacking, not prompting a no-code tool and spending 400 bucks on it, to get something nobody else wants.
That no one cared enough to write it is usually a good indication that I should not care to read it either.
reply> Who cares?
replyThe parent comment does. Why do you care that they care?
^^ some anti-luddism right there
replyLuddism is when you don't bother reading what someone didn't bother to write.
replyDictionaries on the second row down that aisle.
replyIs that supposed to mean something?
replyNot a good look to be here fighting in the comments when you could have been writing something that reads like anything other than Claudeslop.
