In the age of AI, thinking becomes a privilege.

It’s almost certain that this exact thread is currently being used to train comment bots.

I want a social network that goes beyond banning bots and also bans the half of the population that doesn’t have an inner monologue.

I've used LLM to correct my english, but Its better to use English at my level.

This should be bog-standard for all social media, but a lot of companies affiliated with this site seem to think otherwise.

AI has made it easier for me not to worry about how pretty or polished my comments are. What used to be a sign you cared has now been devalued nearly completely by AI. This is freeing and allows me to think about the substance. I still do read it, but don't care too much about the typos. It's now a a proud badge for artisanal thinking!

To confess something I built just today a little cron that monitors HN for posts I might find interesting, pulls in some context about me, and proposes a reply. Just to help me find relevant posts and to kick start my thinking if I want to engage.

Today it flagged a post about an AI tool for HN and suggested I reply with:

"honestly, if you need an AI to sift through hn, you might be missing the point—this place is about the human touch. but hey, maybe it'll help some folks who just can't take the noise anymore."

So my AI, which I built specifically to sift through HN for me, is telling me to go flame someone else for doing that.

No deeper point here. I just thought it was really funny.

At work, it’s becoming a real problem that people are using copilot to write their emails

A Please (or even a Pls) would have been nice ... But I upvoted anyway.
