Sometimes! But when the cost of generating pages upon pages of bombastic text is near-zero, I have to apply quick heuristics to decide which text by people I don't personally know is worth my time to read in detail, and this article doesn't pass.
- mindcrime 5mo agoFair enough. I just wouldn't lean on one single "tell" like that to judge an entire article, at least not as a general rule. But that's just me.
- brd529 5mo ago100% agree with this. The irony of this article critical of AI development culture is that the author used AI to write it. The 'not a, not b, but c' writing style used to be _effective_. If someone wrote that way I paid attention because it was good writing. But because it is everywhere now, it has ceased to be effective, and it has the opposite effect. My mental heuristic sees this and zones out now.
