Why is it that every "I built a cool AI tool" author shared on this site can't be bothered to write the article themselves? I'd be more likely to give credence to how great your slop is if you were at least invested enough to write the dang article yourself.

Here is my hot take. AI is going to replace some developers (not all) and the first ones it replaces will be the ones who can't code without it. The developer in this story provided a relationship with a forensic accountant, a few discussions with paralegals, and limited guidance to an agent. The agent did literally everything else, including writing the article!

The topic and content was genuinely interesting, but it read like an annoying LinkedIn promotional article with all the short punchy sentences.

Because most AI hypers have extremely low standards for any form of text - be it code or prose. If one is to believe code doesn't matter, then why would would prose matter either?
