Now one like me might go and ask how much of communication is actually worthwhile? Sometimes I consider that there is lot of communication that might not actually be. It is still done, but if no one actually reads it, why not automate generation.
Not to say there is not significant amount of stuff you actually want to get right.

There's a reason the real-estate industry has been able to go all-in on using AI to write property listings with almost no consumer kickback (except when those listings include hallucinated schools). We're already used to treating them with skepticism, and nobody takes them at face value.
- mjburgess 1y agoIt's not about getting it right, its about having thought about it. Authoring means thinking-thru, owning, etc. There's a tremendous hollowing-out of our mental capacities caused by the computer science framing of activities in terms of input->output, as-if the point is to obtain the output "by any means". It would not matter if the LLM gave exactly the same output as you had written, and always did. Because you still have to act in the world with thoughts that you needed have when authoring it.

- supriyo-biswas 1y ago> It's not about getting it right, its about having thought about it. Authoring means thinking-thru, owning, etc. So much this. At my current workplace, I was asked to write up a design doc for a software system. The contents of the document itself weren't very relevant as the design deviated significantly based on constraints and feedback that could be discovered only after beginning the implementation, but it was the act of putting together that document, thinking about the various cases, etc. that lead to the formation of a mental model that helped me work towards delivering that system.
