The words-to-thoughts ratio is way too high, it reads like a elementary school book report, it’s way too long for how dry it is, I could go on but these are just some of my initial thoughts while reading the article. Also, knowing it is mostly written with AI, how do I know if details are real or made up? There’s a reason you are reading my comment: it expressed thoughts or an image that you found captivating. Being able to write well is a privileged skill that improves your communication, ability to express ideas, your humor; the things that make you an interesting person. You should not be outsourcing your voice to AI. Also Spielberg wasn’t writing an article - he was directing a movie.
- ako 1y agoSo we can debate the quality of this particular article, but in general if an author closely instructs the ai what to write, edits it, and uses the ai to express his thoughts faster and better, I have no problem with the use of ai as a tool to write better. You’re making assumptions on the quality of the article just because it’s written with the help of ai, I think that not justified in general.
- jmogly 1y agoThis article has the tell-tale signs of AI slop. It’s perfectly fine to use AI to write, but if you don’t know how to write well (which you learn by writing a lot and getting feedback), then you are just going to produce slop. And no I’m not making assumptions I’m making observations based on my experience reading AI generated text.
- falcor84 1y agoI personally really enjoyed that writing style and didn't notice any "slop".
- ManWith2Plans 1y agoI appreciate that!
- ManWith2Plans 1y agoAuthor here, and I mostly agree with this sentiment. With that said, part of my Kiro spec here, had Kiro read my other blog posts and attempt to emulate my style. I too found the write-up to be a little dry and long-winded, even though the same critique might be leveled at myself [hopefully to a lesser extent]. I did feel like it was a good step up from the usual AI slop out there, and served to illustrate Kiro's capabilities. I suppose in this context, I wanted to see whether I could take my reader on a journey long enough for them to be surprised by the AI reveal at the end. I'm not sure whether it achieved that but that was the artistic intent of this specific piece.
