Day one with the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Setup was a disaster. Smart Switch didn't. TalkBack went silent. Samsung installed everything I told it not to.

This is why nobody upgrades their Android phone.

Galaxy Z Fold Seven Day One: The Fold Has Arrived. Setup Was A Disaster. This Is Why No One Upgrades Their Android Phone. — fireborn

@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 @GamingWithEars @TheQuinbox @freya So I can just write like ChatGPT and become as popular and cool as you are instantly? :)
@pixelate @GamingWithEars @TheQuinbox @freya Hmm. I'm trying to work out if there is an accusation or sarcasm here or what.
@fireborn @pixelate @GamingWithEars @TheQuinbox also, random question: do you think I should look into crowdfunding an old pixel to try grapheneOS? Has android fixed the weird talkback lag issues?
@freya @fireborn @pixelate @TheQuinbox @GamingWithEars afaik graphene doesn't ship with a tts by default, which makes talkback unusable (until installed, which may be difficult without sight)
@maia @fireborn @pixelate @TheQuinbox @GamingWithEars yeah but apparently they have their own now, I just need to wait for it to get integrated into stock images
