alt Hacker NewsIt blows my mind that anyone would ever use an LLM to write, if communication is their goal.
LLM writing takes your prompt and adds stuff you didn't write, burying your meaning and making it harder for the reader to get your message.
Way more effective to just publish the prompt.
Of course, it's great if you're just trying to fill space or satisfy demands of a bullshit job.
Here's how I use it to write. I dump an unedited stream of consciousness into the prompt. Sometimes it's just me having a conversation with myself thinking through what I actually want to say. Then, I have it ask me to clarify anything that's unclear. Then I have it write me a rough draft. I read that and then just rewrite most if not all of it while I edit the output. I use this workflow for work stuff or dealing with businesses in personal life. I'd never use this to generate a letter or email to a friend or colleague.
