I 100% agree, reading very obviously ai written blogs and "product pages"/readme's has turned into a real ick for me.
Just something that screams "I don't care about my product/readme page, why should you".
To be clear, no issue with using AI to write the actual program/whatever it is. It's just the readme/product page which super turns me off even trying/looking into it.

- charcircuit 8mo agoWhy do you think people do not care about something if they AI generated it? I care about many things I've generated.
- wernsey 8mo agoIt's the perception. "I couldn't be bothered to write a proper README, so I had the AI do it"
- charcircuit 8mo agoAI can write a proper README. In fact, it's better than me at doing so and keeping it up to date. People writing README with AI are bothering to write it. In my experience AI won't automatically create README files for you when making projects with the exception of create project tools which create a default README, but in that case usually the AI ignores it and leaves it in the default state. People are just using a tool that lets them create without manually typing in each individual character.
- vidarh 8mo agoMost manually written README's I come across are in a far worse state than an AI generated one. To the point that I will often ask an AI to summarise third-party projects for me because the README's are so abysmal.

- satvikpendem 8mo agoIt reminds me of the job of the protagonist in the movie Her, ironically enough.
