this content reads like written by an AI, I'm not sure what's going on but it's not good, last two posts had the same cringe AI slop tone providing zero insights into anything.

Huh!

I'm not gonna say I didn't get any AI help with the editing, but the posts are, beginning to end, my thoughts and my writing, based on my own experiences.

But if they're coming off that way, I'll try and think about why.

For the record, I see the irony of a post talking about the messiness of real life turning into something so smooth that it feels like AI slop. I think I'll try and follow up with some concrete examples to put some meat on the bones.

The core idea: that you get the slice of humanity you summon through your prompt, is something I've been thinking about a lot for weeks. I plan to post more about it on Substack and I appreciate the feedback that this didn't land for you.

I love the thinking and the concept. A valuable pov that i think many will miss.

I also agree with Boe’s perspective about how some of the phrasing reads. I’ll add that I’ve seen you present talks eg at RailsConf, and read your posts, even talked to you F2F, so maybe i have more data to compare from, but: I think I’d rather read a final product that reads like YOU wrote it, rather than something more polished with fewer human “brush strokes”. Keep exploring and posting, I appreciate it.

Long time no speak! I tried something a little different here https://wycats.substack.com/p/help-me-think-this-through. Thanks for the grace and the feedback. I'll keep iterating 😄.
