This is really not better. Well… not much better.

I've spent my entire life reading, writing, condensing and explaining stuff, and I'm pretty good at it, but I find reading this stuff intensely tiring.

But my underlying concern remains. Why are people who want to communicate important ideas leaving it to Claude — which writes like an obscurantist gnome wizard from a bad fantasy novel — to do so, only to lead us to use LLMs to corral it into a less gnomic form?

People used to describe their own products in their own words.

You feel that way is because unhappy that AI able to do something very similar to what you can do at a fraction of effort. I have read many text by human and AI, and many time AI is superior in description though more verbose. Human writing are very creative and terse if well written. But for huge outputs of comparisons, human writing is overrated. Majority quality is nowhere near a sloppy AI level. Judge it objectively not a pre-built bias saying every AI output is bad

That's just your unsubstantiated opinion. I'm saving time and getting the meat.


Is your own opinion more substantiated? Weird thing to say.

It is actually, I provided the artifact and stated that it saves time and provides the substance.

“Yes. My opinion is substantiated because it is my own.”

One shares his experience and how he likes to do things.

The other states his opinion as a fact.

And your asking the former why his opinion is more substantiated? Bro, he never claimed that.
