Kind of off topic, but when articles have a “conclusion” section nowadays it just screams chatgpt to me, even if chatgpt wasn’t involved at all.

I wonder what the tech blog meta will shape up to be in a couple years.



Interesting, because I was trained in writing classes to always have a "conclusion" where you make sure to summarize and restate your thesis for emphasis and focus. That AI does this feels like a result of training/emulating what humans do. If people think my writing is AI driven because of that, that's quite unfortunate. If we have to start introducing errors or mistakes into our writing so people don't assume it's AI, that seems like a quick race to the bottom.


I don’t think NOT having a conclusion is a mistake, but calling it “conclusion” is a stylistic choice that smells like AI to me.

It’s how style changes. Just like how websites influenced graphic design, AI influences writing.


It's getting bad. I'm even seeing what I'd almost certainly ai writeups for language releases and it's so ugly.
