Some great insights here. And I concur:
“No, I don’t use LLMs for writing the text on this very blog, which I suspect has now become a default assumption for people reading an article written by an experienced LLM user. My blog is far too weird for an LLM to properly emulate. My writing style is blunt, irreverent, and occasionally cringe: even with prompt engineering plus few-shot prompting by giving it examples of my existing blog posts and telling the model to follow the same literary style precisely, LLMs output something closer to Marvel movie dialogue. But even if LLMs could write articles in my voice I still wouldn’t use them due of the ethics of misrepresenting authorship by having the majority of the work not be my own words. Additionally, I tend to write about very recent events in the tech/coding world that would not be strongly represented in the training data of a LLM if at all, which increases the likelihood of hallucination.”
