Actually I believe that behavior shows up in Gemini chats (if you are doing a visual task) it will generate intermediate diagrams and research papers have created approaches to that effect (generating turtle diagrams) since 2024

I told my manager I wrote my code line by line (most of it) in a check-in. I showed him @author my name, and we laughed for a bit.

But I think that is the best way to have a clear mental model. Otherwise, no matter how careful, you always have tech debt building and churning.

Also they really suck at UI bugs and CSS. Unit test that stuff.

Hey I have also called research a marketplace for ideas before! cool.

if you open up the pdf it actually says written with AI...and author's 2 decades of experience with creative coding. i feel like it's a pretty fair disclaimer

If someone gave me an ice cream cone and said "this is 99% ice cream and 1% cow shit", that would be a fair disclaimer. I still wouldn't lick it.

I used AI to do a lot of stress testing and to see what patterns fall out of the setting rule I wrote. Helped a lot with grammar checking and general editing. Brainstorming too.

When you write enough materials, the AI generated output started becoming less generic and actually interesting. Really cool. Still wouldn't use the generated output. The ideas, yes, but not the words.

I write every single word. It's not a shortcut by any means. Just means that your work can be narratively and technically more rigorous. Using AI to generate stories for you defeat the purpose.

If it didn't take you at least an hour to create something worthwhile, it's likely that you generated slop.
