What I DO know is a good metaphor when I see one. This one about Internet cross-pollination is perfection. Especially for me right ...

Thank you so much for the kind words :) More than anything I try to be conscientious in my writing and try to see the human.

New #Blogpost! I prefer to read (and to write) an unpolished, human website. This post is unpolished, says nothing new, doesn't take into account every angle, and it's even kinda rushed, but it's m...

@nprofile1q... I'm going to be annoying and put in my 2 cents. I absolutely want people to create things that are unique and weird and personal. But you can do all that and be high-quality and work really hard at it.

genAI is predictable and formulaic, but I don't think that's synonymous with professionalism.

Don't get me wrong, I love when people make messy, ugly creations with low fidelity. My point is I don't want genAI to gentrify polish. Does that make sense? There are other signifiers of humanity than just our mistakes.

I say this as someone who makes typos on literally every blog post I make but also someone that spends hours on research and trying to make something polished.
