<p>I am similar. If I physically write a couple times a week, my hand adapts though. It's a skill like any other.<p>Fountain pens are nice too since you don't need any pressure.<p>My writing looks a lot better if I just force myself to slow down and be deliberate, but honestly it's a constant battle. I'd definitely benefit from practicing penmanship on it's own.</p>

<p>CNC machines drove down operator wages. Its similar to the translator example where the machine code is written by someone else, but the person running the machine still needs to understand. Simple pushing the go button is dangerous, being able to adapt is critical.<p>Jobs where a machinist is in charge of large chunks of the process are rarer. Large shop will have one person setting up many machines to maximize throughput.</p>

<p>I agree entirely. Seeing all llm garbage being published made me realize how insecure people are about their writing.<p>Since realizing, I've been stubbornly improving my own writing and not touching LLMs. Takes a bit of work though.</p>

<p>> Reading it isn't the most fun, but let's face it - most professional reading isn't the most fun. You're probably skimming most of the content anyways.<p>I find it difficult to skim AI writing. It's persuasive even when there's minimal data. It'll infer or connect things that flow nice, but simply don't make sense.</p>

<p>Writing a first draft may come easy, but there's more to the process than that. An LLM can go from outline to "article" in one step. I can't.<p>I don't write often, so revising and rewriting is very slow for me. I'm not confident in my writing and it looks clunky to my eye.<p>I see the appeal, though I want to keep developing my own skills.</p>

<p>This blog post is pretty readable, but it's still obviously written with the help of an LLM. 
A common trend is that LLMs lack the nuance and write everything with the same enthusiasm. So in a blogpost it'll infer things are novel or good/bad that are actually neutral.<p>Not a bad blogpost because of this, but you need to be careful reading. I've noticed most of the article on the HN front page are written with AI assistance.</p>

<p>The real disappointment is none of the sources are linked in the text. Instead, it's just random underlined words, the classic chatgpt over formatting with lots of extra underlining and bolding.
I appreciate that a 10-15 minute long article summarizes a 25 minute video, but it's hard to hide the real author.<p>Quite lazily done and just not pleasant to read.</p>

<p>That does not sound enjoyable and seems like HDR abuse.<p>The "normal" video should aim to be moderately bright on average, the extra peak brightness is good for contrast in dark scenes. 
Other comments comparing it to the loudness war ar apt. Some music streaming services are enfircing loudness normalization to solve this. Any brickwalled song gets played a bit quieter when the app is being a radio.<p>Instagram could enforce this too, but it seems unlikely unless it actually effects engagement.</p>

<p>It's good if you have black text on white background, since your app can have good contrast without searing your eyes. People started switching to dark themes to avoid having their eyeballs seared monitors with the brightness high.<p>For things filmed with HDR in mind it's a benefit. Bummer things always get taken to the extreme.</p>
