It's also a source of chuckles at times. Like when you mean to tell people to check their shift for one day next week, and forget the "f." On a team-wide chat. "Check your shit for next Thursday" is a pretty funny typo.

oh, lots of people do and software prompts you to try to do it all the time now.

thank you for this!!!

I hate that they say that a lot of writing is starting to sound like an AI, too. People are copying the style of these infernal things, and creativity is being lost.

But also, if I don’t already trust that your writing is worth reading, a clear AI Smell makes me much less likely to bother

Only a poor craftsman blames his tools.

I'll rarely use AI for a title idea or something, but if you are reading something I posted, I fucking wrote it. You can probably tell because I said fucking.

yeah, it's a challenge. I'm pushing it with everyone I'm mentoring, but it ain't easy.

I’M the first to admit. Stupid iOS keyboard. Sheesh.

Rovo writes 90% of my JIRA tickets from run on sentence mind dumps I feed it. 1) I voice type a ton of information in a stream of consciousness 2) I tell rovo to make it into a ticket 3) I edit its output 4) I’ve now deleted 5-15min of low value typing work from my day

I know when I write I sometimes think VERY carefully about exactly which word I want to use. I couldn't ever be sure that a machine was conveying the right meaning if I let it edit what I wrote.

I discourage LLM use and I've seen it hollow out students' education. But I am not gonna tell another grown adult what to do, and the statement in question is in any case clear and forceful, whereas the main LLM problem is wishy-washy filler, mush.

I used Facebook for the first time in a while earlier and I swear they made typing suck to try to get you to use the ai. It was unbelievably hard to type, it kept jumping position mid word

If you let it do that then you don’t actually know what you agreeing to in emails and then you need to read ai summaries of the email thread (which are sososo shitty) to eventually know what you’re actually meant to do.

It's the ship of Theseus, except the ship is trying to steal your job and over time you become the ship and this metaphor is getting away from the ship of Thes...I mean me.

I am a huge fan of automation, snippets and templates. Why constantly work from scratch when semi I have serviceable shit I already wrote? I am profoundly efficient when it comes to rote and boring shit, but so far AI just seems to shit all over efficiency gains to worse ends!
