Using an LLM doesn’t break the rules. This post’s fate will be determined by your votes.
I appreciate that they mentioned it.
I’m not particularly good at writing, I can understand why someone would ask an LLM to help them clarify their ideas. The intent here is obviously to improve their content rather than as a crutch to feed us shit. Whether it’s better than just writing this personally I don’t know.
Thank you for this post!
This how social media should work. I want Interoperability between whatsapp, signal threema and so on. Also between garmin, withings, Apple and so on…
If someone can’t be arsed to write it, I can’t be arsed to read it.
Ugh why can’t you read the article without Javascript? Trying to do that gives you the error message: " You need to enable JavaScript to run this app."
That reminds me. There was a post on Lemmy recently about “graceful degradation”. One useful tip from that post was about maintaining a balance with your sites.
DO NOT use Javascript to implement vital content and navigation (especially if you are running a blog or some other information heavy site).
If you do use Javascript, only use it to support ‘nice-to-have’ features. Good candidates for ‘nice-to-have’ features would be things that can break, but wouldn’t impact the user experience significantly.
Anyways why am I yapping about this? I’m hoping this is read by someone planning to start a website or blog, and that they’ll take this into consideration.
Edit: Double ugh. I just noticed they used an LLM to write a 5 minute article. Dude literally left em dashes and kept the grammar the same. You can’t make this shit up.
I’m going to voluntarily read other people’s AI slop.
I’m gonna ask an AI to read it. I won’t read that either, but all the same.
I swear Lemmy is the only place where a throwaway sentence (in a comment that has nothing to do with that topic) becomes a giant pedantic thread about em dashes. Wtf is this platform lmao.
It reminds me of my post about Stop Killing Games where half the comments became about video vs text 😂
