I can't tell who's teaching who anymore

    I was considering adding a permanent disclaimer to every blog post on my site about it not being AI written. Then I relented. Because I don’t have to explain to strangers on the internet that I wrote it myself. I like writing, and even if it is imperfect at times I’m okay with that. But I do catch myself editing my own words multiples times a day. Because I'm less sure if that sentence structure is truly mine or a side effect of me conversing with LLMs so much.

    I'm trying to counter this by trying to read more fiction, but for every page that I read, I'm probably reading 50 pages or so of LLM output. So I think this is a battle I'm going to lose out on in the long term. And I can probably only delay the inevitable.

    But yeah, I don't like beginning to lose or doubt my own writing voice one bit.

      Slang and imperfection expose the ghost. Embrace it.
