I am not sure what your complaint is. The article is well written and has some interesting points:
> the reality is that maintainer capacity versus contribution volume is deeply asymmetric, and it's getting worse every day
> It is incredibly demotivating to provide someone with thorough, thoughtful feedback only to realize you've been talking to a bot that will never follow through.
- Planktonne 7mo agoIt's the exact same complaint as in the article: > I started noticing patterns. The quality wasn't there. The descriptions had a templated, mechanical feel. And something subtler was missing: the excitement. The article has mechanically correct prose; that's not the same as well-written, and that's the topic of the article itself.
- statements 7mo agoConflicted as to whether I should be more offended at the accusation of using AI to 'filter' my article or because my writing reads as 'templated and mechanical' There is enough here to have a micro existential crisis.
- fragmede 7mo agohttps://xkcd.com/3126/ https://xkcd.com/3126/ People's bot detectors are defective, so if you write at all, you're going to get accused of it at some point. It's not annoying, it's rude – and you're absolutely right to be off put by it. If the preceding sentence gave someone a conniption, good! I wrote it with my human brain, I'll have you know! Maybe we could all focus on what's being said and not who or what is saying it.
