I don't enjoy the Internet any more
btao.org/posts/2026-08-17-i-dont-enjoy-the-internet/2nd to last paragraph:
And this isn’t some anti-AI screed — I’m all-in on agentic software engineering!
IMHO using ai to automate tasks is not the same as using ai to generate sloppy content
That emdash tho
Emdash is useful punctuation — I use it all the fucking time.
On the other hand, “it’s not foo; it’s bar,” once a quirky rhetorical flourish, now scans lazy and sloppy as shit.
Also, swearing like a motherfucking sailor helps establish one’s humanity. So fuck off. No offense. Have a lovely day!
Replying to @MagicShel@lemmy.zip
The emdash is a much bigger sign of llm slop than the semicolon. Leave my semicolons outta this.
