If you owe AWS 437k bucks, that’s a big problem for you

Honestly sounds to me like you have a bone to pick with AI in general. Negative sentiment on a particular LLM authored blog post muddies the waters and misrepresents your valid points. Not the way to do this IMO. Happy to be corrected.

I hear you, and agree with your points, but do have to ask - what’s the point in complaining? See LLM slop as you called it, ignore it and move on. There’s plenty of more intimately authored content out there.

I don’t have access to my flavor of LLM on the train nor the time or budget to have it do the research and summary for me

Why are we all of a sudden pretending like pre-LLM era blogs were these pristinely well written pieces of art or even that effort and care was put into them? In most cases they were significantly less coherent and incomplete. Don’t get me started on the mess that was the communication of this particular company or one of their competitors like AWS.

Can you elaborate? I read it, found the concepts well explained, walked away better informed.

Responding to alleged slop with more slop doesn’t decrease the total amount of slop on the internet.

Should they disclose the use of a spellchecker? A translation app? Gramarly? A writing tutor?

Why should they disclose how much AI was used to write an article?

What’s so special about Java/JVM solutions? What is for example the Go ecosystem missing in comparison?

Switching between LLMs takes all of 30 seconds - there will be no hesitation to adopt whichever LLM is performing the best.
