Steered it?! If I'm gonna read it, I want someone to have written it, not bloody "steered" it!

"Why are you upset with this restaurant meal? Okay it wasn't actually cooked here per se, but the chef certainly reheated it and carefully monitored the microwave oven while doing so!"

This crap just needs to end. "Steering" words at another human being is incredibly disrespectful.

big restaurants have many cooks that are trained and monitored by the chef, but the chef is certainly not necessarily prepairing your meal.

The chef is however responsible for the outcome so you're absolutely right to complain if the meal sucks and most of this AI written crap definitely sucks to read.

That said, it's not about the "principle" of having your meal cooked by the chef / the text written word by word by the human.

It's about the outcome. People should learn to tame their AI tools/harnesses in such a way to produce quality output (code and prose) and it's absolutely despicable that so many people are so eager to lower our standards in quality just because everybody else seems to be doing it.
