Not a satire, this user was the reason I submitted a post asking for a policy only to find out it's already on the front page today.

Feeling sad I am 'the reason'. But that's ok.

> asking for a policy

It is always the same sad story. Someone learns a new name, gets trapped inside, and tries to escalate conflict. I will not call that 'open mind'.

The deeper reason is that there is no kindness — many really don't care about others who seem alien to them. They just hide that behind all kinds of names.

I use AI for the elements I feel are weak or unclear in the transcription. Sometimes I copy-paste a paragraph into ChatGPT or whatever, to ensure my (aging) thoughts are being communicated in a crystal clear manner. I cannot always point out why I think they are unclear or jumbled.

I don't feel this is an imposition on others. I think it's the opposite. It enhances signal by reducing nitpicking, spelling/grammar errors that might muddle intent, and reminds me of proper sentence structure.

Many of us are guilty of run-ons, fragments, overly large blocks of text[1] because it's closer to how people often converse, verbally. Posts on the internet are not casual conversation between humans. They are exchanges of ideas.

[1] This is a classic example where I had to go back and edit it to ensure it was readable. As you do self-review with any commit ^^

Same here. And sometimes, I got downvoted and treated as an LLM — in the name of valuing the human.

To me, what matters is the will behind the words. Ideas and words themselves are cheap (this becomes clearer every day in the AI age) — they're almost nothing until they're executed and actually help someone.

Like code we write — it's dead text on a screen until it's running. And what we really care about is the running effect — and that is exactly the reason, the will, behind why we write the code in the first place.

^_& Good detective.

And without that comment, we wouldn't have talked this much. LLM is the friend.

I think many prefer poor English over LLM English.
kindkang2024 · 3 days ago
Understood. But my priority is whether the words express my thoughts crystal clear — clarity over style.

This account is an LLM IMHO.

I like HN, and I'm not a native speaker.

I do use LLMs to refine my wording, but I am not an LLM.
