> TLDR: Communication from a human is not only the material being communicated, it's also a signal that the human understands the message they are sending you. When you pass that message via an intermediary (regardless of whether the intermediary is a human or an LLM), the receiver is never sure that what they received is what you intended.
100% right. The fundamental point here is:
- it's OK to be wrong
- it's OK to be wrong and not know
- it's a little less OK to be wrong when you should have known
- it's much less OK to be wrong when you haven't put any effort into being right
- it's far less OK to be wrong when you are pretending to know either way
Relying on AI writing risks pushing you further down the path to worse kinds of wrongness.
