On your about-page you write
I don’t use AI when writing or editing my texts.
Why’s that? Why don’t you use AI, but prefer to write your texts by hand?
Because AI writes soulless, bland text that no one will want to read.
There you have it, your answer.
I write my code by hand, as LLMs generate soulless, incorrect code no one will want to read but you better do as it’s full of mistakes.
LLMs generate, they don’t write. Writing is something creative, something human. Machines aren’t human, at least last time I checked.
That is, by far, one of the saddest pieces of text I have read in a while.
Don’t worry too much about it. He didn’t write it himself. He had his bestest (only) friend, Claude, write it for him. He didn’t even read it.
I see my code, to some extent, as like a form of art. That is why I enjoy writing it myself. I’ve used an LLM at work and it’s like babysitting a comically stupid idiot.
It is. It’s craftsmanship.
Just because it’s digital doesn’t mean it can’t be done thoughtfully.
Because someone has to maintain it.
I love that this article was written on the 3rd of September and then on the 4th there’s a new article. “Turns out, everyone hates my takes on AI”
