software engineering is still software engineering.

just because you don't type out the characters doesn't mean you're not designing systems and thinking critically and leveraging your experience.

also: do we think this is written by ai? do we care anymore?

I personally care deeply when content intended as communication is AI generated (much more so than if code is generated).

On the surface level, I find it a bit disrespectful when I'm communicating with someone who's just using an LLM to generate their responses. Imagine if you are talking to someone in-person, and they pull out a phone, generate a response then read it back out to you?

On a deeper level, if someone's generated a bunch of text and clearly hasn't devoted the time into generating/editing it that they're expecting me to invest while reading it, I'm just not going to read it.

Yes it's very obviously written by AI and made me immediately close the tab. Not gonna read a self-promotional piece written by an LLM that someone probably only gave it one sentence prompt: "merge these ideas".
