I did human notes -> had Claude condense and edit -> manually edit. A few of the sentences (like the stinky one below) were from Claude which I kept if it matched my own thoughts, though most were changed for style/prose.

I'm still experimenting with it. I find it can't match style at all, and even with the manual editing it still "smells like AI" as you picked up. But, it also saves time.

My prompt was essentially "here are my old blog posts, here's my notes on reading a bunch of AI generated commits, help me condense this into a coherent article about the insights I learned"

I wonder if those notes wouldn’t have been more interesting as-is, and possibly also more condensed.

I wish there were a way to opt-out of LLM generated text and see the prompt. In any context. It's always more informative, more human, more memorable, more accurate, and more representative of what the author was actually trying to convey.

Makes sense, I could see the human touch on the article too, so I figured it was something like that.
