Gemini Automated Review


I find the above quote so wonderful, and if you have time I cannot recommend enough that you read the entire post from Oxide.

Last week, I received my first LLM generated email response.

Hyphenated 'LLM-generated' as it is a compound modifier preceding the noun 'email'.

Last week, I received my first LLM generated email response.

I cannot know for sure it was LLM generated, but there were hints in the prose, content and timing. A large portion of the email was written in markdown -- which is something no human does in an email, and then there was the "You're absolutely right!! ... " response we've all seen in our chats. Finally, it was also filled with a general level of 'excitement' most humans never have, and the entire email lacked a 'soul'.

Hyphenated 'LLM-generated' for consistency and capitalized 'Markdown' as it is a proper noun.

Writing is thinking clearly.

If you abdicate this to an LLM, you've stopped thinking, and your 'content' does not deserve anyone's time. With code this is even more pronounced. A pull-request, even a badly written one, if created by a human, is deserving of at least a review -- but a pull-request written automatically by AI in seconds, with minimal effort is deserving of nothing!

Changed 'pull-request' to 'pull request' (noun form) and added a comma after 'effort' to close the parenthetical phrase.

[This](https://www.bigtechnology.com/p/writing-crystalized-thinking-at-amazon) article further crystallized it for me.

Amazon's writing culture was a remarkable thing, a culture that is now being eaten alive by GenAI slop (apparently!). Writing is a wonderful thing; you can bluff your way through a slide-deck or a verbal presentation, but it's impossible to bluff your way through a written 6-page document.
