if i have to read one more piece of generated text i will kms

there are approximately three good reasons to generate text that another human being will read.

1. you are writing code with ai and the comments and symbols are mostly meant for consumption by other ai agents.
2. you are running an ai agent/bot that is clearly labeled and defined as an ai.
3. you are running an ai agent/bot for yourself and you would like to read the messages from that agent.

outside of that? please stop. please stop writing status reports into slack that were generated. please stop making slides that were generated (oh my god please stop generating your slides), please stop generating emails, please stop. stop. stop. you are not helping. the total amount of the joy in the universe is shrinking every time you tell claude or gpt to write a memo or a PRD.

this is not to say "don't use ai to help you write". that's fine! i use ai to proofread my stuff a lot, to poke holes in it. most of the time - for things i care about - i don't really incorporate its style/grammar suggestions (although i usually do wind up reframing some arguments or moving things around) but it does help. i'm not talking about that. i think that's good and useful. what i want you to stop doing is feeding in a bunch of garbage notes into the inference hole and tokenwashing them into something that's supposed to be useful. you are just making me put your shit into another llm to distill meaning out of it.

just stop. pls.
