I'm sorry Dinko, but this ain't it.

> On TV, input works very differently. Users navigate with a remote. Movement is discrete. Every interaction requires intention. Each action is one step in a sequence. That difference changes everything.

I just don't want to read articles that are written by LLMs. If there was something you earnestly learned that you think other engineers could benefit from, use your own words to tell us. It's lazy and disrespectful to hand an audience a massive sloppy blob which reeks of GPT 5 and frame it as something you "learned".

I write all my articles by hand for the first draft and the final polish. I do use LLMs in between to try to get a clearer message (to what I find appropriate).

I understand if you don't want to read it, but there is nothing dishonest about this article. I've lived through what I wrote with those 3 apps. Take it as you wish and have a good day.

I think even if you only use LLMs for “getting a clearer message” you’ll find that it contaminates your writing.

Can't speak for everyone but personally, I'd much rather read a slightly-imperfect human writing than an LLM that has a very artificial tone. Trust yourself!

You can ask the LLM to "mention a few places where I can improve", rather than having it re writing everything, if you really want to.

Yes this is a waste of time. It’s actually a hard engineering problem! There are very few engineers who build for TV compared to desktop or mobile. The challenges are totally different. There are still some good human-written articles out there.

I'm against slop just as much as the next person, but this wasn't bad. Why does he need to use his own words when the message is right there in cleartext? It's not wrong, sloppy, nor an incorrect hallucinated lesson.
