Why this is important: it's the honest take.

We do this wicked sin called having fun once in a blue moon here.

Slashdot's spirit shall live somewhere, no? Rent is all-time high and it can only afford here, for now.

Genuinely, why?

This does not imply that the organization is not paying for content writers or proof readers. It does suggest that they are not getting the value of paying for content writers or proof readers.

Of course, that is the whole point of using AI to replace workers.

Only devs think it isn't coming for them, it is empowering and nothing else will happen, no team reductions, nah how come.

Anthropic _absolutely_ does

They are just better at hiding it or configuring Claude.

I have several skills that reformat text to remove AI-speak tells.

2k cal would be around 250ml of oil. or 350grams of peanuts. So doing with bread, meat, and other stuff alike requires over 600g of food, an excellent value to energy.

> I think it's like 2000 calories in a single burger

that would be pretty cool, you can just get your entire day's calories from one burger

found the McShill. The King will hear of this!

> People never really read documentation before.

The heck you talking about? How do you think we wrote software for the last 50 years?

What? People never read documentation?

I start with reading and exploring documentation first; with the codebase as a secondary tab.

When it’s not LLM generated, documentation is supposed to be easier to read and more insightful than code.

>People never really read documentation before.

Speak for yourself. I read it.

As a high schooler going to a school with stricter rules on AI than most in my area, I can say that it's been going downhill ever since GPT 4. Teachers constantly use AI to create assignments(my French Teacher regularly handed us work with GPT 5.1 prose and emojis). Students are also rampantly using AI and bypassing school restrictions(We have a google account, making it easy to use Gemini if we just sign out), causing an inflation in GPAs and test scores. There's no easy solution to the problem, banning AI-tools only help somewhat as even typing into Google has AI web results, and students are quickly overcoming ways to restrict them. I have a friend that vibe coded an application that allowed his Mac Mini's desktop to be mirrored on his school chromebook, bypassing every restriction with sub 1-second latency. Of course, that opens the can of worms to whether schools should allow students to use AI...

I know many teachers who actually have respect for the profession, themselves, and the students. Thankfully that means they don't do this.

Whether this is a widespread macro trend is another issue, and would be terryfying.

If true, however, it would reflect on the values of the organization: we have spent decades underpaying teachers, and doing a poor job of pretecting schools from frivoluos lawsuits. Add into that, districts have thrown money into new buildings, have been suckered by Big Tech to adopt their policies (common core was pushed by Big Tech and has been a distaster as well as computers in classrooms). As a nation (the USA) we can't get our act together for a rigorous national exam, etc etc.

Remembering my teachers 20 years ago talking about staying in school grading until 8-9 PM, I wonder if these things are a symptom instead of a disease

Please tell me this is not true.

I totally concur. I'm almost lost for words at this stage. I need me some land to grow vegetables on and that's about it. Maybe some chickens. Every single day brings more despair (and not the prosperity we were promised).

It gets fun when someone uses an uncensored model to bypass a refusal, but they accidentally pick one that was trained for erotic writing and brings its particular talent to the documentation task.

This thread flags an honest assessment of AI signal detection.

The human element has been completely removed and replaced by..... mediocre.

No it hasn't. The human element is still there, prompting the LLM. The change is that the human is happily accepting the first thing they get rather than critically looking at it and seeing a problem.
