@TallBlondeGuy @kendrictonn It’s obsessed with anthropomorphizing metaphors too. Inanimate objects doing human verbs.

A few bowhead whales born around 1815 might still be alive. They were in their 30s when they first saw a commercial whaling ship; in their 60s when they first heard a propellor; over 100 the first time they heard sonar. I wonder if they remember the silent ocean.

Trump: I don't know anything about a stepfather. This has nothing to do with the stepfather. She says her daughter is a liar

@thePartyPartyUS I’m not saying that’s the only way to reach a thoughtful result, but it’s more thoughtful that firing off a sentence and blindly copypasting whatever comes back

My baseline assumption around unedited AI output is “this is disposable”. If it’s code, I won’t feel any hesitation about blowing it away and rewriting. If it’s a document, I won’t think twice about ignoring its recommendations.

[Matt Popovich @mpopv]

AI writing isn’t bad per se. What’s bad is that it obscures the level of effort the prompter put into getting to that result. Was it the product of an hour of back and forth where you iteratively chiseled your way to the right solution, or did you one shot it? I have no idea.

[Matt Popovich @mpopv]

Taking the time to clean up the verbal tics and overused formatting is a sign of care. I know that at least you read the thing you’re presenting to me and put a modicum of thought into making it readable.
