@fireborn Out of curiosity, What LLM helped you compose this? Editing to be clear that I'm not against AI writing at all, but this is pretty obvious and I'm curious on your tools.

@TheQuinbox I used Claude 4.6 to grammer check and typo check, mostly because I was wviting on my phone. I did notice it stripped out my seperators, which I'm not thrilled about and clearly didn't proof read hard enough.

@fireborn @TheQuinbox huh. the whole flow feels very Claude, but that might just be convergence between your writing style and Claude's

@freya @TheQuinbox I was so incredibly pissed off at all these purely fundimental issues that I was experiencing. I was also tought, long before the advent of AI, that if you want to make a point and really make it understood, you lead with any possible counters or deflections.

I used to be far worse at appearing like an LLM, overuse of bold, ithealic, and blockquotes.

interesting observations though; maybe I should change up how I write to make people less wary of engaging with it.

@fireborn @TheQuinbox oh I'm not at all wary of engaging with it, mind, just observing.

@freya @TheQuinbox one nbof that things that people seem to forget is that AI is trained on a lot of journalistic writing, so anyone who has an appreciation for those styles and rhythms gets compaired to AI. I personally take it as a complement

@fireborn @TheQuinbox that's very true! also your post about the death of the power user has fucking crystalised something I've been trying to say for a longass time

@freya @TheQuinbox I think a lot of us have.

It came off the back of a training call where I had to explain the concept of a file system to a teacher trying to share a file with a student.

@fireborn @TheQuinbox this reminds me of the time I had to explain to Haily how a serial port worked and how no, that RJ-45 on your cisco switch is not, in fact, ethernet

@freya @TheQuinbox That's a slightly more understandable mistake than "what is a folder and why would I want that?
