  • There’s nothing “absolutistic” about my “stance”. If you’re rusty using a language, you won’t get better if someone else does the homework for you. Make an effort, make mistakes, write in a way that sounds weird, who cares. But practice. If you only take the easy way out, that’ll be your only option in the future.

    Although, like I already said, that’s MY way of thinking about it. If you want to use ai to write your stuff, you do you. It doesn’t negate the fact that, whle it’s not “wrong”, it’s the lazy (or minimum effort) option. Don’t know why it bothers you so much.


  • First, that’s an awful analogy.

    Second, you’re assuming (for some unknown reason) that they “cleaned up” the “translation” using ai. You have literally no idea exactly how they wrote the post. It’s kinda weird to make up a random scenario but ok.

    Third, no, it’s not an awful take. You can code something that requires a ton of effort but write awful documentation. One thing does not make the other impossible.

    Fourth, I already explained that there have already been studies that concluded that using AI to write stuff for you has a negative impact on your communication skills. This is not an opinion or me being ingrateful or whatever. I was just sharing information.



  • They said it wasn’t their “first” lanugage. Which leads me to believe that they do speak English. If that’s the case, then they indeed are kind of lazy. There have already been studies in the impact of AI when used for communication and the results are not positive.

    This isn’t something I’d personally point out and criticize, just something I wouldn’t do personally. Take the time to express your own ideas in your own words. The long term cost is higher than the short term gains.
