  • Our internal slack channels contain more and more AI-written posts, which makes me think: Thank you for throwing this wall of text on me and n other people. Now, n people need to extract the relevant information, so you are able to “save time” not writing the text yourself. Nice!!!

    My last software dev employer did this, except with the “voice recording” feature. Instead of composing messages in text in a text chat (because that takes too long), he’d hit the record button and just start talking it out, then send the recording. Easy! Then the team had to download and listen to ~5 minutes of verbal diarrhea, pausing and rewinding for twice that long in an attempt to glean something useful from it. This particular kind of delusion existed before AI.
