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 @freya @TheQuinbox I also find myself writing so much like an LLM that I've been asked if something I wrote 100% by hand, without so much as a grammar suggestion from Claude, was written by AI. The person who asked me was my supervisor for several years before that, and we have a good working relationship. I just ... write like an AI, apparently. I also just really enjoy the way Claude writes when you give it a bit of creative freedom, and i'm sure that if I were to put up a blog now, people would suspect me of using Claude far more than I actually would.
All this to say, write however you like; use whatever you use. i'm fairly sure the ideas are still your own. And if i'm wrong about that, I'm honestly just more impressed with Claude.
"It failed with such consistency, such total and unbroken commitment to not working, that at some point it stopped feeling like a bug and started feeling like a philosophy." ... is such a relatable and well-crafted line that I feel like I'm not going to be able to avoid writing something similar to it at some point in the future, because so much of modern tech feels exactly like that.
@simon @freya @TheQuinbox the way I write might have something to do with this too. I draft something and then I listen to it with reader mode and then I listen to it again with Eleven Labs. I don't publish until it sounds correct and engaging with both.
@fireborn @simon @TheQuinbox query: would any of you like to listen to the recording I just made demonstrating, very briefly, my blackberry?
@freya @fireborn @TheQuinbox Wait. Blackberry OS Blackberry? Or the Android thing they made more recently?

@freya @simon @fireborn Wait, I've heard that voice before. That's compact vocalizer!
