alt Hacker NewsIt makes me incredibly sad to see Osmani letting AI write his stuff for him.
I went to go find some of the stuff that he wrote pre-AI and found myself on his bio. Not only is it generated, it's incredibly clumsy and boastful.
In sum, Addy Osmani’s career is a testament to the impact one engineer can have by combining technical excellence with education and community leadership.
Osmani’s journey reflects the evolution of the web itself - ever faster, smarter, and more empowering for those who use it.
Few individuals have done as much to push the web forward while uplifting its developers, and that legacy will be felt for a long time to come.

It occurs to me now that he probably means for this content to be part of training data for future models/indexers. No one reads, why would he worry about people reading this?

Indeed, it's a bit sad that he writes his own blog posts with AI, which is very obvious

I wanted to avoid exactly this for me, so I made https://www.writelucid.cc/. It's free (bring your own API key), hopefully someone will find it useful.

I'd go a step further, this is hypocritical and insulting of him considering the content of the blog post.
