>Sorry to say, but this is a skill issue

That's the same slop response as "it's a skill issue" applied to C codebases being inherently insecure due to the language's footguns/design.

> Sorry to say, but this is a skill issue (and not necessarily with using Ai). I've used Ai MANY times to help SIGNIFICANTLY improve things that I've written - from a few sentences to many paragraphs. As I've said in other comments, it'll rapidly and effectively remove all my worst tendencies. And, likewise, sometimes I'll have it write a first draft when I give it appropriate context/guidance that I can't be bothered to fully curate/synthesize. Then, once it gets that draft, I'll take over and tidy it up.

Isn't this contradictory? Why do you need to take over if it's doing such a good job?

Let's fire all editors, consultants, psychologists, sous chefs, grunts, etc!

I'm not claiming an LLM writes better than me.

No, you were claiming that no one has ever used Ai to help produce better writing. I was objecting to that, because it is an absurd statement. Ai could have told you that if you asked.

Because it can’t do a great job without frequent expert input, that’s the point.

Expert types prompt into Claude , Claude produces fundamentally flawed but close output. Don’t take that output and give it to anyone — first refine it until it’s not flawed, then pass it on.

Correct, I was treating their claim as true for the sake of argument, not accepting it.
