Maybe I'm in the wrong, but part of me feels like - if it's not interesting enough for the person to write it themselves, it's probably not interesting enough to be read.

Also the AI doesn't understand intentions.

Blog posts with spelling and grammar errors are way better than lukewarm AI voice.

@pie Context, always.

Right now, I mostly agree with you. In the future AI will absolutely be able to understand intent. It can be trained on it or instructed on it.

And how much writing needs to be interesting? Does a weather report need to be interesting and have soul? Does an article describing how to fix your car need it?

Context, context, context.

@kneath Absolutely fair. And totally; context.

But that's why weather reports are usually a few lines per time unit. The key facts. Rather than blog post size each.

As you said, right now until it doesn't understand intent. (Think the old "Should I walk to the carwash" question.) So in today's age - I really do feel it.

@kneath When it's going to understand intent is an interesting question. Considering the scaling is starting to plateau, and the data is drying up.) It's anyone's guess. We'll see.

Also - miss you!

@pie I've gotta say, I think the carwash example is an overblown gotcha (as if other programming languages have never had gotchas 🙄). These things understand a LOT of intent if you give it to them. It's far more noticeable with local models where you define the context window.
@pie A quick example where I've been crafting a lot of context, memory, and intent for my ranchbot. Running Qwen 3.5-35B.
