The revolt of the reader | The Observation Deck

And because reading is important to me, writing is too: writing not only allows us to convey our ideas, but the very act forces us to test and distill them — at once making our ideas more robust while providing the vehicle by which to share them.

Exactement mon cas. Lire est bien, mais écrire sur ce que je lis me permet de le digérer vraiment.

as Cynthia Dunlop writes, of the 668 developers that replied to her survey, 78% "stop reading immediately" when they detect an LLM. And there are consequences that outlast the piece: 71% of the respondents in Cynthia’s survey also "avoid the author in the future" (!!).

Si on généralise, un client qui lit une documentation qui sent l'IA aura moins tendance à lire / demander de nouveaux rapports.

As I wrote in RFD 576, to use an LLM to write is to void the social contract between writer and reader: we readers shouldn’t be expected to labor to understand a sentence that the writer themselves didn’t work to create.

Le contrat social entre l'auteur et le lecteur. J'aime bien cette expression. C'est ce à quoi je pense en disant que livrer un document rédigé/créé en partie par IA déplace la charge de travail vers le lecteur.

Moreover, as spam became effectively contained, the consequences of being labeled as spam became increasingly dire. Today, legitimate businesses are very careful about how they use bulk e-mail; to be labeled as spam is to effectively destroy your domain name and tarnish your brand.

La punition sévère comme remède au slop. Ça semble une solution intéressante, même si ça va demander d'avoir de bons détecteurs. Car une punition arbitraire d'un blog / nom de domaine par un - forcément - géant du web créera forcément des situations cruelles.
