I start reading what is supposedly a powerful personal story about burnout in open source. Then I start to see the pattern - that familiar tempo. Admittedly there's no "Not x. Not y. Just z'. But there's that faint whiff, like the neighbor is burning toast. The paragraphs are just a bit too regular. Something about the headings. Yeah my dude, you used ChatGPT to write this, didn't you. I'm sure of it. Not sure enough of just how much to comment on the post, and I don't have the energy to get in an argument about it.

Ai both degrades trust - making us suspicious of everything we see and read - and sucks the life and personality out of absolutely everything it touches. I'm so sick of starting to read and going, oh, nope this is machine-generated nothingness. I hate this. I hate all of it.
