A well written doc or plan shows human effort. That they did the research and wrote & rewrote their doc until it was understandable & enjoyable to read. AI generated technical writing is not only incoherent, but just a fucking pain to read.

I really hate the large markdown files that AI slops out. They're long, verbose, & still need to be reviewed for accuracy (which I bet you gets skimped on). I've been seeing them for documentation & planning, the kind of thing you want clarity on, but instead get slammed with information overload.

"Podcast Recording: The Basics"

Below is the image to text output of the page: 
The popularity of podcasts cannot be conhattered a surprised. Being a (mostly) free source of
entertainment and information, unique insi age auld even enlightening discourse, it isn't a shock that many
have chosen the medium as a means of expressing themselves.
And while content is important when putting out a podcast, the technical aspect of it is very crucial
After all, if your listener cannot hear what you say, it's unlikely they'l keep tuning in..
So, with that in mind, here are a few things to remember when recording your podcast.
Use The Proper Equipment
As a purely auditory medium, the audio
quality of your podcast is extremely
important. While most laptops come built
in with a mic, this is not the advisable
thing to record your voice on for content
that you intend to broadcast. Be sure to
look for the right equipment that fits your
needs and budget.
Warm Up
The majority of podcasts last for at least
an hour, so it would be ideal to warm up.
Do a few tongue twisters and other oral
and vocal exercises to stretch those
muscles for an extended recording.
This way, you open your podcast with
the appropriate amount of energy and
readiness.
Find The Right Space
For the best quality, try to find a small,
quiet room you can do your recording in.
Be sure to be in a place wherein your pets
or housemates can't accidentally walk in
and disrupt your recording.
If soundproofing is not a viable option,
you can muffle external noises with
cushions and other similar available
materials.
Proper Mic Use
Be sure to employ the right microphone
techniques. Remember that the mic should
be at the same height as your mouth. Sit a
few inches away from the mic and use a
pop filter for the best quality possible. Keep
distance in mind, as the closer you are to
the microphone, the louder you'll sound.
Once you find the right distance for the
desired volume, you're ready to record.
Just follow these tips and your podcast would definitely have that distinct professional sound
that makes all podcasts great. After that, it's all up to you.

Just to be clear, I’m not being those “programmers should write in assembly” types. When I write in high level languages and even “have” to use LLM assistance at my job, I still try to map what is happening on screen to my mental model of what is physically happening to the data.

Even before LLMs, computing was obfuscated by the rush to release new products & gaining more market share instead of slowing down to refine what we've made. Just compare the old LAMP stack to the Kubernete NPM clusterfuck we have now. I want a "OSX Snow Leopard" moment with my trade lol

It's not just the mound of generated code that contributes to the problem, but the degradation of dev skills. We're allowing ourselves to understand the machine less and less. Turning it more and more into a black box. If we didn't have to rush and took the time to study, it wouldn't be this way.
