I Don’t Care if A.I. is So Good We Can’t Tell it’s Not Human. That’s Not The Point. https://serena.nz/writing/the-quality-is-not-the-point/ Absolutely all of this. #ai #llm #slop

@Crell@phpc.social what is funny to me is that i would have worded it "ai is so bad you cant tell its not human" because technically more humans have let me down than ai so far. at least the ai is funny when it bones you.

@Crell@phpc.social I want to agree with this, but it’s demonstrably not true, and there is no better proof of this than what I’ve been doing with PHP Internals lately. People are more receptive to criticism and new ideas when it is phrased politely, constructively, and delicately. AI is far better at this than me, in part due to it not having an ego. It can fairly assess other proposals and weigh differences between them. Sadly, AI-generated responses tend to be met with hostility when they are detected, even when they are correct. I suspect it is a form of uncanny valley combined with the person feeling devalued that the human didn’t spend the time to write the response themselves. Ironically, the wall of text from AI is a more complete and accurate answer in most contexts.
