Comment on It's rude to show AI output to people | Alex Martsinovich

I sometimes use LLMs to help me with brevity or clarity. But the input is my own words and the output is almost always edited so that I sound like me because sometimes, while the output is serviceable, it’s just… bad and uninspired.

You should learn how to write better instead of relying on slop.

  Who I rely on it? I accept suggestions when the good truth, even if the source of the suggestions is a slop generator. I accept what it is right about and reject what I don’t. And why not? It costs nothing.
  
  And, at 52, I write the way I write. I enjoy the process, I enjoy playing with language. I enjoy the juxtaposition of literary flourishes with a crude fuck you thrown in as punctuation and counterpoint to what might otherwise seem inaccessible or deliberately obtuse.
  
  But do you know what I’ve found? I can be a little overly self-indulgent. For example, you didn’t want all this, you just wanted to throw your glib little “lrn2write” and garner a few upvotes from the vehement AI haters and give yourself a self-righteous pat on the back.
  
  Sometimes I need another perspective to suggest restraint. As you can see, this, like 98% of my writing, is mine alone, else I’d’ve taken what would undoubtedly be good advice and held back on the more acerbic bits, and made sure I wasn’t posting some knee-jerk defensive self-indulgent 100% man-made slop.
  
  But here we are.

    Except for an opportunity to practice getting better at the thing you recognize is an issue.

    Although I guess you’ve already given up on the getting better part.

    How do you know if its a good suggestion if you don’t know what you’re doing? Think for yourself, stop trusting slop.

    Apparently not. Now you write the way a slop generator tells you to write.
