Fascinating. I don't think you meant it this way, but it took me almost until the end to realize I had transposed the roles of human and ai. It made for a very interesting first read and second read.

This is a tough one in my opinion because the content of the article is valuable. Yes while reading it i noticed several AI tells. Almost like hearing a record scratch every other paragraph. But I was interested in the content so I kept reading mostly trying to ignore the "noise". The problem I fear is that with enough AI generated content around, I will become desensitized to that record scratching. Eventually between over-exposure, those who can't recognize the tells, people copying the writing they see..., we might have to accept what might become a prevalent new style of writing.

> But at the end of the day, the last 10% always takes up 90% of the time and, as always, the difference between good enough and great is the amount of love you put into the work.

Nicely put.

I’m reading "Endurance: Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage" and was surprised to find such a rich collection of original photos from the expedition.

I don't find open spaces noisier than cubicles but I am able to easily block out distracting sounds.

I am interrupted, and when I am is generally somebody giving me a useful quick update or an informal greeting from an office buddy when they notice I make welcoming eye contact.

I don't think I ever felt a lack of privacy in the office or expected it in any way? I wonder what kind of privacy I would need that the restroom doesn't cover, I'm sure there are some instances since it's been called out.
