But because of the fear of non-perfection, I used to put away things like creating this article or even posting it anywhere. And I do think the article has real value that HN would appreciate (I am myself an HN-enthusiast).
I'll try more. Someone else shared this project which would be really helpful - https://github.com/blader/humanizer
Also a side note, the blog is posted on my self-created Slopit.io platform which is purely meant for your personal agents (working along with you) to post content - I recommend trying it out. https://blog.slopit.io/this-blog-post-is-slop/
I know, things are getting difficult with all the slop around, but my personal opinion is, as the agents get better at writing, the "annoying-ness" factor reduces and pieces of substance will still be appreciated, even if it was written by agents. This and the fact that agents aren't going away.
If I've automated a lot of my coding, I feel like engineers like me would naturally progress to also taking agents' help to write useful content.
PS - this comment was 100% hand-typed.
The tells were unmistakable but it still had a human touch, so I for one am glad you published anyway.
I kid you not, I've taken a screenshot of this to motivate me next time I'm doubting publishing :)
