Imagine being so bad at stuff that using an LLM makes you better.

@CppGuy @koantig @ambiguous0 @david_chisnall As a technical writer, I'm facing the same shitty dilemma except that I never really meaningfully re-entered the job market since have my 3rd kid in 2004. I've had jobs, but they didn't really use my skills except for one in fin tech that only lasted 6 months in 2022.
That sounds rough. I'm sorry.
So what are they asking you to do: just touch up documentation spat out by an #LLM?
I've spent the last fortnight wrestling with documentation that was clearly written by people without any understanding of the subject matter. It's almost impenetrable, and it's a miserable experience piecing together the incomplete and fragmentary information the devs must have supplied before the tech authors were told to make the best of whatever they had. People underestimate the importance of really good documentation.

@hopeless Indeed, it looks we are surrounded by absolute geniuses with exceptional skills in every possible task
@david_chisnall@emmecola @hopeless @david_chisnall You don't need to be a genius to recognize mediocrity. And oh boy, is there mediocrity in Claude outputs.

@david_chisnall I don't need to imagine. I know I suck at math and programming.

@tkissing @coba @david_chisnall using a LLM is not a crime, that’s pretty far from “just following orders” to commit atrocities.

@jerome A lot of things that were done and later excused with "I just followed orders" were not crimes at the time.
And you are missing the point anyway: Being told to do something does not absolve a person of the consequences or responsibility of their own actions.

@doragasu I have no doubts you can recognise mediocrity in your own domain. But being able to recognise mediocrity in coding, writing, statistical analyses, web design, physics, chemistry, biology, history etc etc, means you are an expert in all possible human domains. Which is a bit like being a genius
