The problem with AI is not that it is always wrong, it’s that when it is wrong, it is often wrong in a way that human beings would not be wrong and thus don’t know to interrogate.
Some of the anti-AI stuff feels a bit like when people would say "don't use Wikipedia as a source." It's just like anything else, a piece of information that you weigh against multiple sources and your own understanding of its likely failure modes

It really burns having to watch the internet grow rightfully skeptical of posters with conspicuous layout and formatting choices, viewing them as a sign of AI-generated slop.
That *used* to be the domain of thoughtful technical writers and ransom notes.

It’s oddly charming the way Bluesky sometimes forces you to follow the OP before you can drop a dumb joke in reply to someone nineteen comments deep
