Is it just me, or... - programming.dev

…are some questions posted here so out of place that they feel like made up with AI? Or made to train AI? Don’t get me wrong, I love the genuine discussions here and I do engage, but some questions are just too… Forced? I’d love to give an example, but I won’t, because I don’t intend to out anybody. ^^

Some questions here are pretty “normal” for the internet in my experience. Some people are just out there, man.

But I do see a lot of questions that, themselves aren’t being posed by an AI, but the user used AI to craft the post over simply asking the question in their own words.

I sometimes imagine a future where, if someone suddenly lost access to LLMs/AI agents, they wouldn’t be able to function properly or maybe wouldn’t even be able to hold a conversation. The more dramatic side of me imagines them essentially going comatose but that’s silly. Hopefully.

They essentially outsourced their writing and speaking ability, and it atrophied (Broca’s and Wernicke’s area).

I already can’t hold a conversation, and I’ve never used an LLM.
