    Yeah, I agree. You can see this in all AI generated stuff - none of it has any purpose, no intention.

    People who say it’s saving them time, I mean I have to ask what these people are doing that can be replaced by AI and whether they’re actually any good at it, and whether the AI has improved their work or just made it happen faster at the expense of quality.

    I have turned off all predictive writing of any kind on my devices, it gets in my head and stops me from forming my own thoughts. I want my authentic voice and I can’t stand the idea of a machine prompting me with its own idea of what I want to say.

    Like… we’re prompting the AI, but are they really prompting us?

      Amen. In fact, I wrote a whole thing about exactly this – without an LLM! Like most things I write, it took me many hours and evolved many times, but I take pleasure in communicating something to the reader, in the same way that I take pleasure in learning interesting things reading other people’s writing.
