if the model wrote it, say so
using ai as a partner? sure. posting fully ai generated text? sometimes very interesting. just be transparent about what ur actually doing. if ur contribution to smthn "you" created was a two line prompt then ppl cannot accurately engage with the work or u without knowing that
@HollanderAdamthis whole narrative of shaming people for using AI to help write things is stupid.
everyone should be using AI as a creative partner for copy & content.
you shouldn't be proud of spending 3X longer to write something inferior, just because you did it "all by yourself." https://t.co/rwUL8FyHrG
u don't see me getting up in janus's business for posting direct ai text or ai cowritten articles. the claudes talking to each other are fun to see! we know about the ai cowriting! we can understand and evaluate the situation as a whole!
but when u post a 10 paragraph story about a time an intern fucked up prod, and it's very clearly entirely GPT written, u should say something man. if it was a real true anecdote from ur personal history and u just don't have the skill to write it up, be clear about that!
otherwise it's quite reasonable to assume it's simply all fabricated. because people are just doing that.
i talk to ais a lot. i've been talking to llms for hundreds to thousands of hours every year for the past 5 years. if i want to read 5.2 or claude's thoughts on a subject i can just go ask them! it's easy, i can ask follow-ups! they have very interesting things to say!
but if u launder their thoughts *directly* thru ur own public persona then u falsely claim credit, make it difficult to tell what kind of experience or worldview the claims are coming from, and on many topics just waste everyone's time
vibecoding is extremely useful. more people should be doing it. u can validly say "you built" an app even if it was 100% vibecoded. still, u obviously should disclose or mention this. if u open a fully vibecoded pr u should not claim to have written it by hand.
ai art looks sick. i appreciate it a lot and i appreciate people posting it and i think projects where its used frequently are creative and cool. still u should not post an ai generated image of a drawing and claim u drew it. u didnt, u cant draw
if someone asks u about details of the code in ur pr u can't answer, u didn't write it, they would have saved time by asking claude. maybe u have a better sense of the high level purpose and design decisions! so u should say that so ppl can engage correctly
if someone asks how u performed some aspect of the drawing technique displayed in ur image, u can't answer! u didn't draw it! they would be better off asking an llm. maybe u have a better sense of the inspiration behind the image, what drew u to generate and post it. say that.
if someone tries to engage with ideas in a fully ai generated article u claimed to write, as if u were the author, they assume u have a real understanding of those ideas! they assume they're engaging in a real back and forth. but their time would be better served by chatgpt.
there's lots of grey lines. copy-editing might result in "ai-seeming" text which is actually a synthesis of significant original work on ur part. again just say that.
none of this means u need some big like trigger warning style disclaimer on anything that involves ai. just don't be obviously straightforwardly deceptive?? just explain how u created the thing u claim to have created?
this can all go too far for sure. the anti ai art hysteria has really fucked up a lot of real artist's spaces. but imo largely bc they learned to intrinsically hate it rather than just use and talk about it. programmers have done better with this, altho still some conflict
idk man. if u wanna have a voice it should actually be ur voice. if u don't wanna have a voice and just wanna communicate certain info that's totally fair too. just accurately represent ur contributions. it's simple as
