watching the microsoft launch video today and seeing some ai tell a shitty writer to not use the word "social" twice in a sentence is the worst i've felt in weeks. this must be how traders feel when their work got automated by algorithms except writing is art, it's not finance

yeah it’s dumb bc like ppl have been telling other ppl how to write for ever but putting it in an “ai” hides the opinions coded in behind a layer of false objectivity. i’ll take a real editor i can argue with any day
