alt Hacker News>it’s telling me that the author tried to take a shortcut in their own thinking and it’s a good heuristic that the ideas will not be thought through enough to warrant my complete attention.
Even worse: Facing AI writing, there's a strong suspicion that any concerns or counterpoints you bring won't be actually considered, but rather copypasted into an llm session.

That's a good thing. The writer who has nothing to say and the dumb audience who doesn't care stay down where they belong pacified by their "AI".

Indeed. I used to thoroughly help strangers with programming and automation when they asked, or to explain the issues with a PR that even though I wouldn’t merge I wanted it to be clear where it could improve. It’s rewarding to teach someone who wants to learn. Nowadays there’s a lot of “I asked Claude and it said this”, so I don’t bother. I’ll gladly give you my time if you want to understand things, but I’m not going to waste it writing a thorough response just so you ignore it and shove it into an LLM.
