I don’t fully understand the motivation to use LLMs to write blog posts. The loss of personal voice is so striking that it immediately rings alarm bells in my head. You can fact check the output although even that is spotty but you can’t inject the soul back.
And if you stop writing yourself, what makes you think you still can? And what is it that makes you - you?
@zeux I haven't used LLMs for my blog posts yet. But I might use one as a helper for my English. As a non-native speaker, it could help me rephrase sentences, fix awkward wording, and... make things clearer in the end.
The content and the point of the post would still be mine. I wouldn't use it because I don't know what to say or where to start - only to express what I already mean in better English.
@neilhenning @xoofx @zeux I feel like this is targeted at me. 😅
My problem is that I'm not comfortable releasing something that I know has mistakes, so I usually re-read and rewrite my posts a hundred times until I'm satisfied with the wording, and this takes a long time.
Being able to have an LLM correct all my typos and awkward sentences is a huge time saver. I don't see it as a choice between broken English and LLM impersonation, but between minutes and hours.
