His last letter was an update on a serious health issue. I care. It's not supposed to be a yuck fest, especially inorganic AI sludge.

I’m honestly stunned that people use AI for personal communication. It seems so alien to me.

  • You don’t think your comment would be improved by including an emoji of an alien? And maybe a telephone?

    The “tells” for AI are - as of this writing - very obvious. I assume they will disappear over time.

    • The obvious tells are obvious. The less obvious ones fool you so you don't learn them. There's no feedback. You sound like a schoolteacher saying "My students don't cheat on exams. I'd know if they did!" For starters, you can just tell the AI to write in the style of a HN commenter, or whatever.
