<p>Not only hotels. I recently moved and had to endure skipping many AI-generated apartments posted to common platforms for finding new apartments.<p>At least some of them had an "ai generated" tag.</p>

<p>You are right, it feels like clickbait for blog posts / articles.<p>And once you notice the bait (via telltale signs) you feel betrayed. Betrayed for your attention, thoughts and time.</p>

<p>Do you have tips on how to get better at design, now that everything looks like the same AI-slop online?<p>Like how do you come up with a cohesive looking set of components for example?
I use design tokens but they are not enough to get to a coherent design where components look like they belong together and kind of stand out from other designs.</p>

<p>Reading this hurt so much. Please just write articles by hand. I don’t care about perfect grammar and I don’t care about your article sounding „native“ or not.<p>But I do care about not having to read the word „genuinely“ a hundred times just because Claude likes it so much.</p>

<p>We decided not to go with Python/JS to make executing safe and simple.<p>The data structure is a recursive list of simple objects that form a table of content.<p>DSL uses Python syntax though. For example:<p>swap_section(a, b)
create_section(after=2)
delete_section(2)<p>This proved to safe a ton of explanatory prompts that would be needed if every command was a tool instead. And it’s faster and more reliable.</p>

<p>This has been our experience as well. Initially we had a list of tools that the agent could use to manipulate a data structure in certain ways. This approach was quite brittle.
Now we are using a small DSL (domain specific language) and a single tool where the agent can input scripts written in the DSL. We are getting more dynamic use-cases now and wrong syntax can easily be catched by the parser and relayed to the agent.</p>

<p>> Not x — but y.<p>Am I the only one who feels a bit betrayed after reading LLM text? I am not even willing to try out the app after I notice… which is a shame.<p>At least polishing the obvious parts would help a lot and is not that much work.</p>

<p>Because a URL shortener is a one-line prompt today.<p>You will have to put a lot of effort and attention to detail to make a one-line prompt more worth than it is on its own.<p>Not sure whether that happened here though.</p>

<p>In addition to your experience I notice that through AI contributions our team reaches sprint goals way too early and PMs aren’t catching up with creating new tasks.<p>Did you notice a significant decrease in delivery speed (including debugging, fixing stuff in AI contributions)?<p>I wonder whether reducing AI usage might even help with cognitive load. The last few months I felt increasingly exhausted after pushing through PR after PR (although it is quite fun to do this on personal projects).</p>

<p>Software dev, curious about freelancing here. Just recently deleted my LinkedIn profile out of being disappointed with the value it brought to me over several years of using it. Instead, I now note down relevant contacts in a private “CRM”.<p>Do you think it is important to have a public facing profile of yourself and your work history for attracting new clients or is a broad <i>in person network</i> more relevant?</p>
