@ngaylinn@tech.lgbt It will only make him more annoyed if after you do (not saying you should) you are still not impressed. I have tried it. In good faith too. Let me see if I can make this work. Can it save me any time? But the time savings are an illusion. I tried it for feedback on a poem and it was very flattering but then on reflection that felt hollow and I didn't want to trust the advice since... well I didn't write the poem for machine validation I write a poem to impress my friends.

@futurebird@sauropods.win Indeed. I'm also confused that he feels it's been such an improvement in his life! In our exchange, he let an LLM edit one of his replies. Not only did I spot it immediately, but it was noticeably worse than the rest of our dialog. "Hollow" is a good word for it. There's no convincing him. And I wasn't trying to convince him, which is the weirdest part. He just got defensive and started trying to convince me...

@futurebird@sauropods.win @ngaylinn@tech.lgbt indeed. I was told: "You aren't doing it right." And: "It has gotten a lot better..." OK perfect! Please link me to the the SOP or "any documentation™" for this to use in my business setting context that has established data for use cases adjacent to our current model of doing things. .....still waiting.

@futurebird@sauropods.win @ngaylinn@tech.lgbt the hollow flattering has made me habitually deliberately torvalds my way through every human interaction even harder than i used to
