I meant "don't go out of your way to prove that you are not AI".
Why go out of your way to differentiate yourself from something that by your estimate produces 99% crap? From a design perspective is adding more visuals on top of a visual optimal for a user's experience on the web page? Should taste be sacrificed for whimsy?
Don't go out of your way to prove that you are not AI. I suggest going out of your way to prove that you are totally oblivious to its existence—whether you use it or not—in all of you public facing work.
I'm looking forward to episode 2!
Take the commonplace CSS/typography decisions that Claude generates. My impression of the past is that people didn't mind if your landing page used Bootstrap or Tailwind because they were products of the human eye for web design. Not only do Claude-generated attempts to imitate those frameworks inherently lack a human touch, the pages that it designs without appearing to deliberately pull from these influences are worse and immediately signal that the entire page is crap.
What should the extra mile look like in this case?
If you're going to go for a gauche aesthetic to signal that there is a person behind it, maybe think twice and consider your audience in between.
Anyway. Does your blog have RSS?
I use AI for a lot of things. But in a sea of AI output, I do want to make sure that what I do had the ability to stand out (whether that's text, design, media, UX, etc).
No RSS feed yet but will work on that soon! (Or have AI do it )
between the artificial content, and human generated materiel that is just the carrier for some dark agenda, personaly, I keep one finger lightly on the exit button
