I would describe myself as pretty AI-positive in software engineering, and even in technical writing, but something about seeing diagrams that are clearly generated by Nano Banana Pro immediately makes me stop reading. Weird!
I think I've unintentionally trained myself to notice (and tune out) both AI illustrations and AI writing.
At a deep instinctual level, knowing that someone hasn't spent much time or effort creating the content makes me not want to reciprocate with time or effort.
I've realised that my brain literally tunes out AI illustrations, much as it does with ad banners.
Perhaps since they're easy to generate, I encounter illustration more -- it's no longer a signal of quality.
I keep repeating this: AI written prose lives in an uncanney valley that is both clearly grammatically correct but still weirdly off.
Why do we think that the AI generated code is any better?
I described AI-generated code as feeling very "alien" to me, but I'm not sure that that is the correct term.
Rather than using the AI bogeyman, why not analyze things as-is? If it's good or bad, does it matter if it's AI or human? Or are you in denial about some existential fear?
Low quality trash that is offensive to be given to read because the author didn't actually give enough shits to spend a few minutes creating the graphics by hand.
I don't want to work with people like "Jim Yagmin", people that consider this kind of output acceptable. This immediately makes me expect sub par "good enough" work with no attention to detail. Just slop it at the wall and see what sticks!
