that was the case. you can find the base write up and the prompt used in one of my comments on this post.

i did not have much time to work on this at all, being in the middle of a product launch at my work, and a bunch of other 'life' stuff.

thanks for understanding.

Yeah, people hate that. It just instantly destroyed the immersion and believability of any story. The moment i smell AI every single shred of credibility is completely trashed. Why should i believe a single thing you say? How am i to know in any way how much you altered the story? I understand you must be very busy but straight up the original sketch is better to post than the generic and sickly ai'ified mushmash

Thanks for letting us know, but it’s offensive to your readers. Please include a section at the beginning of the article to let us know. Otherwise you’re hurting your own reputation

Seriously, just do things yourself next time. You aren't going to improve unless you always ride with training wheels. Plus, it seems you saved no time with AI at all.

Next time maybe just post the base write up and the prompt? What value does the llm transformation add, other than wasting every reader's time (while saving yours)?

People are often unconfident about their own writing. But if you can feed it to a LLM and have the LLM output something that looks coherent, your writing is good enough to publish.

You have good words. Have faith in your words. They are better words than ai even if they few or many. They let us get to know “you”. Ai erases “you”

Next time add “in the style of a thedailywtf post” to your prompt to stay on genre.
