86% AI generated text. Seriously, does nobody write anymore?

  Great question! This is certainly a topic that touches on many important aspects of our modern world, and there are a lot of nuanced perspectives worth considering.

    The problem — it's not that they don't write anymore; it's that they don't think anymore.

  No, it's just that people who were too lazy to write anymore than a paragraph can now paste that paragraph into a chatbox and get a full blogpost. The only issue is that it still contains only as much content as was in the single paragraph, the rest filler. Actually LLMs are like the ultimate laziness enabler. But as people adjust their expectations this stuff will no longer look impressive, since people will know it's just AI slop, and the lazies will fade back into obscurity.

  It sucks. The dumb diagrams as well - do we really need two boxes and an arrow to repeat what was described in a simple line of text just before?

    Wow, yes, those are a pisstake. I hadn't seen them when reading the article because I used reader mode.

      I'm seeing a lot more of those ai generated graphics which are shiny and flashy but ultimately say nothing.

  The first sentence being "I was not planning to write this article" is the cherry on top.

  it's really sad. the internet is slowly dying (along with humans using their brains, it seems). On twitter, any time anything interesting is posted (which also is usually "enhanced" with AI) 80% of the responses are all very clearly just claude/gpt replies. what is the fucking point? whats the end game for these accounts?? i HATE that i have to sit there parsing through all of this cruft. Fuck this whole article could've been so much shorter, and more concise if a human just sat there, timeboxed themselves, and wrote!
