I frequently see people praising LLMs for their ability to write loads of documentation (proposals, specs, tech docs), saving the author a ton of time and producing far more output and information than they would be able to otherwise.

What I almost never see is these people reporting that the audience for their writing has found the output valuable and of good quality.

Saying this as a member of that audience, who has had to rewrite/reinterpret nearly every LLM-created spec handed off to me.

LLMs seem to amplify all of the worst self-centered traits of humans; this is not a thing we're well-equipped to deal with.
@thirtycats GIGO suits most fools. It’s why I rarely accept a contract now. You can keep your AI (Idiot Assistant) slop. Because all it is is gibberish parading as work.
@thirtycats Of course they don’t read it. The audience puts it into an LLM to summarize it. So double revenue for AI providers.
@thirtycats That’s Chinese whispers LLM style.
