But banning accounts wholesale is not going to earn them more customers. They could have just disabled Gemini access, or even given a warning first. I don't use OpenClaw, I do pay hundreds per month for AI subscriptions, and I will not

AWS has so many internal gates, it quickly devolves into Kafkaesque hell if you get off the happy path. We had an account which was flagged as suspicious because we...signed up to use credits that AWS offered us, which apparently immediatel

Doesn't AWS make you agree to arbitration? Unsure how Small Claims Courts plays with that.

Agents may not consider themselves LLMs, might include some other tags to grab an OpenClaw agent's attention

Yep. You took out much of the meaning and wrapped it in stylistic fluff.

Many have tried, it does not work. Regression to the mean always sets in.

I’m not convinced removing RLHF would really make the probabilities generator give us distributions that can diverge from the mean while remaining useful. In other words, this might not a problem that can be overcome in LLMs alone.

I find it extremely difficult to focus on any piece of writing the moment I see the patterns. Can’t tell if it’s an attitude problem I need to get over or if it’s just that all AI writing really is that bad.

AI has a way of convincing people they are onto something big, they just can't quite express the idea themselves so here's the output pasted verbatim

Very funny

Agreed... I'm not at the top.

Did you mean decrease in your last sentence? Or do you simply mean any solution will make the problem worse?

I mean most of us certainly don't have that kind of authority, and that's not really going to stop AI use when it comes embedded in every service these days.

Verifiability is part of it, but I think the "semantic ablation" article on the front page really captures my problem with AI-washed writing: https://www.theregister.com/2026/02/16/semantic_ablation_

YES this hits the nail on something I've been trying to express for some time now. Semantic ablation: love it, going to use that a lot not now when arguing why someone's ChatGPT-washed email sucks. Semantic ablation is also why I&

Fair but I have seen workplaces keep phone use largely curtailed. Surely it's not so impossible with AI...right? Right...? :/

Yeah if the prompt is as specific as this post, then that's probably the issue...

Thanks for sharing that anecdote. I think everyone is susceptible to misinformation, and seniors might be especially unprepared to adapt to LLMs tricks.

> there is almost nothing that a human is better at than Opus 4.6. > You wouldn't expect a Jr. dev to be the best at keeping things dry either. So a junior dev is better than almost all humans at everything?

I'm countering the basis of your original claim; "there is almost nothing that a human is better at than Opus 4.6". This is simply not true.

I fear that AI will be intelligent enough to negate human general intelligence before it is itself generally intelligent.

by causal 8mo ago
This is my greatest cause for alarm regarding LLM adoption. I am not yet sure AI will ever be good enough to use without experts watching them carefully; but they are certainly good enough that non-experts cannot tell the difference.

> violates DRY in unholy ways Well said

Opus is the very best and I still throw away most of what it produces. If I did not carefully vet its work I would degrade my code bases so quickly. To accurately measure the value of AI you must include the negative in your sum.

Yup and it's clearly getting attention.

Switching from Android, I was shocked by how much in fact did not just work. I kept a running list of basic features that were clearly broken. Especially around text editing. It seems like they made some fundamental mistakes with their text
