AI is a great tool, but it is somewhere between a 3D printer and a CNC machine. it can make something smooth and easy to handle and maybe good enough for personal use but you would want to run it through some Finishing steps before giving its output to someone else. In some cases thats using the output as a mold for a full recreation and other times maybe its just sanding it a bit, smoothing out some rough spots and putting paint on it.
youre right not to care about if something was made by a human or a tool, but the full presentation of the content including editing is part of the content when it comes to a write-up.
It's impossible to judge the content if it's buried under a landfill. "If you won't take the time to write it, I won't take the time to read it."
- every night a good number of neuron connections in your brain are automatically severed because you did not use that ability
- over long periods of time, it ll take you to a point where you wont be able to write a simple factorial program on your own without gpt telling you
- i am not saying this to incite you or mock you or anything. i am just concerned about how much of your thinking you are offloading
If you think that having slaves means you don’t need to be a good administrator, then you are sorely mistaken.
It requires more brainpower than it ever did to manage a project the size what used to do a 100 people team. All on your own.
The fact that I am arguing with all of you here and not blindingly follow the narrative should tell you all you need to know about my critical thinking prowess.
No it's not.
People are increasingly getting fed up with slops like this -- you can see comments in HN discussions.
Many people just completely skip those articles.
There’s people at work whose messages get completely ignored after too many times of posting verbose, useless, ai slop.
Why claim 'people' (plenty of people get value from satisficing) and even try to use 'see comments in HN discussions' as if there is something that actually documents that ie 'we all think it'.
I skimmed it and even skimming it I got value from (what some others here) call 'slop'. (The value was basically it gave me an idea of something I could implement and again I didn't have to study it or even understand everything (or agree) just seeing someone did that made me think about something I might want to do.
It’s extremely rare that someone smart with something smart to say produces this crap.
Like someone said upthread if the author isn’t willing to spend time writing cogently then I don’t think it’s worth my time to try to parse it.
The content itself is slop.
surely if we're expected to read this ourselves, the author can write it themselves?
indeed, it's helpful to the author, too: writing helps you learn
