@finestructure@mastodon.social You put it into words, what I couldn’t! Thanks! Also I thought I was alone with this feeling of »The fact that an easier way exists drains me of motivation to walk my own path.«, but it seems I am not and gives me some comfort.

@finestructure@mastodon.social @stroughtonsmith@mastodon.social Google Translate is also trained on people's writing without consent but I haven't seen the same level of moral concern about that. And it's mostly eliminated the translation industry.

@finestructure@mastodon.social finely put. I don’t feel any excitement for a technology that changes my role from coder to manager of LLM output. But then I don’t have deadlines anymore and am not tempted by any purported time savings, efficiencies.

@finestructure@mastodon.social I’ve used a riff on Paul Newman’s quote about fidelity. If I like eating steak why would I pay a robot to eat it? My hobby projects are getting more extreme. Making a game engine using just metal or making my own language. That keeps the joy in it.

@finestructure@mastodon.social Excellent! I agree with every single one of your points. And I will always appreciate a “pile of paragraphs” from the heart over soulless slop.

@finestructure@mastodon.social It’s wild to read something and feel like you perfectly put my feelings into well-crafted words. Thank you so much for this, it feels quite nice to know I’m not alone in feeling all this
