A lot of people write articles, then use an LLM to sum it up.

I do that for most of my docs because I ramble.

I prefer my rambling, but I think others like the tidied up LLM summary.

How does this document score - just wrote it today, used Gemini to sum it up: https://github.com/cuzzo/clear/blob/master/docs/retrospectiv...



I basically don't read anything that looks LLM-generated at this point, so I'd prefer that you included your rambling version alongside if you still want to have a generated version.


The great part about Git History is that the rambling typo filled version is available if you want it!

There is a subtle hubris in the attempt to wrap reality around one's own preference rather than the one adapting their own perceptions to match reality.


I do LLM scaffolding, fill in my words, then pass over it manually.

On my worst, I rant worse than listening to an LLM.

When I make an effort, my personality comes through at no cost to the reader.

So far I haven't found a prompt that can impersonate me properly. I'm open to it.

Seeding it with a handful of my favorite articles gets me halfway, but the editing is still needed.


You seem to like SQL, don't you? Your README reads a bit fallacious: Just because SQL is a great alive language, it doesn't make your language a great one. I think it's called survivor bias.
