It's a word processor that lets you selectively accept AI suggestions, or just talk to the agent in margin comments. I've been working on this full time for over a year now.
> Writing requires thinking, don't let an AI do the thinking for you.
And then the author goes on to admit that they use AI for coding. Does coding not require thinking or what?
I agree that we shouldn't be delegating thinking to AI, but stopping at writing seems disingenuous.
Code is deterministic, and language is not. If I write:
total = 0 for x in [1, 2, 3]: total += x
…nobody is going to argue with me that “total” is anything but 7.
But language is different. What you perceive and what I perceive from the written word can be completely different (e.g https://youtube.com/watch?v=naleynXS7yo&ra=m )
That argument is like saying that weather is deterministic. It is if you know every single variable, but that's impossible.
Our usual flow of writing should not be disturbed at all..
Fixing grammer mistakes wont change the soul.
Pangram disagrees, if your grammar was fixed by AI it's "100% Written by AI"
- sure its good to ask AI feedback about your module or code review or identify vulnerabilities or better ways of doing your existing code
- but maybe stop asking AI to generate entire projects from scratch?
LLMs construct documents like a middle manager trying to get you fired, so it's a bad idea to get a system to try to research something for you. Anytime I've used the ol' panopticon-homunculus for something applied and niche I always follow the source linked to verify it. And the source is vague and generally unverifiable. Humans can actually link other documents that are actually readable to a greater degree.
I think a large part of the blame is the dataset for large scale LLMs being thoroughly and disproportionality poisoned with popular media sites like Reddit.
