 Now, because I know a certain amount about how LLMs work, this isn't actually a surprise to me - and I've known about this effect since reading van der Linden's rather overlooked classic "Expert C Programming" back in '97 or so, but it still seems to surprise a lot of the breathless hype merchants. /2

 @640e31bb I suspect that, for a lot of people, this still looks like a great way to speed up writing all the things that they know deep down no-one will ever *really* read: press release, quarterly perf review, cover letters, etc...
Which I still view as a very sad state of affairs, since it will just further accelerate the proliferation of bullshit communication in the work place, IMO.
