alt Hacker NewsIf you leave "The Honest Summary" in anything Claude wrote, I am not going to read any of it, shows a complete lack of care or interest in what you are doing.
I don't care if you are having Claude write something for you, but I feel like I spent more time writing these two sentences than this person put into this post.
My opinion has shifted over the last few months. Instead of valuing effort put into "putting words together", I am trying to judge the value that I get _from_ the words[0].
I'm reminded of a passage in Stephen Fry's "The Liar"[1], which draws the distinction between a book as an object of art, and a book as a vehicle for communication. If the message is worthwhile, I don't care if it was blurted out by a model or if blind monks inscribed it by hand into vellum parchment.
Don't get me wrong, there's certainly correlation - if I _know_ you've taken a lot of effort to write something, the chances are good that there is worthwhile content being communicated. But the correlation is _not_ perfect.
[0] when it comes to technical writing that intends to communicate information. Narrative writing that intends to evoke an emotion or viewpoint is a different story!
