I don't think this article was written by AI - at least, I am not sure it is - but the way it is divided up, the bullet lists and "key quotes" and breaking a relatively short article into even shorter sections, makes it feel AI generated.

Sounds like an interesting book but the article says remarkably little.

Thanks for the feedback. I try to keep track of quotes I like when I'm reading. This was an attempt to bundle them up into some useful themes. I'll try to expand into something more opinionated for the next one :)

Did you use AI to write this review, or was it entirely by hand? The structure, emphases, and conclusion directly match the way ChatGPT tends to answer my requests to summarize/analyze/compare.

I came up with the organization and the quotes but I definitely used AI to help improve it. For example, a friend pointed out that a word was overly flowery so I asked Claude for some alternatives (https://imgur.com/a/k3sQ7lR). I believe not using AI is going to be like not using a word processor soon. AI will help people communicate more, sharpen their thoughts, and learn faster.

This does have me thinking more about what causes things to look AI-generated. The uncanny valley effect. It seems like some people don't like the header image but I thought that was a nice touch to have a visual element.

What's ironic is I normally use ChatGPT but they have a bug that caused my account to be downgraded so I didn't have my "normal" AI tool today.

While I'm certainly no stranger to letting an LLM help me streamline some technical documentation, I also think it will eventually grind down everything to a sea of "lowest common denominator" speech.

A friend of mine recently used an LLM to help write a condolence card, and I found that appalling.

Who I am as a person is the sum of my experiences, and I'm not even talking about the great cornerstones but random stuff. Like that one time I accidentally still had our cordless house phone in my pocket as a kid when I went to play in the woods and lost it there. There are thousands of these little things, and it's what makes you unique and influences how you talk and think. I am saddened by the thought of "not using AI will be like not using a word processor soon". It will grind away all the little weirdness, all the little unique aspects. I would have loved to read "apotheosis". I didn't even know that word!

I love those unique things. The cordless phone is a great example!

I understand that fear of the sea of lowest common denominator. My hope is that it will help us create even better writing, music, etc. and appreciate it even more.
