I write technical articles on my blog.
AIs show up in large numbers to read them, crawl them, learn from them.
Time passes. I publish a new post.And right on schedule, someone comments:
"This was clearly written by an AI".Which is fascinating, really.
I write.
Machines read.
I keep writing.
Then humans accuse me of being the machine.At this point I am not sure if the problem is that AI sounds too human,
or that humans have forgotten what a human who actually studies sounds like.Either way, I will keep writing.
Worst case scenario, the AIs will enjoy it.
Best case scenario, one day a human will too.@stefano I still wait for the moment when someone asks me with what AI I write the release news and articles.
People cannot imagine anymore that there a people out there that do things completely without AI. I like to do things without it because I feel more intelligent when doing so (if that makes sense).

@raven I’m not a native speaker, so I've always used tools to help me with translation and editing, long before AI existed. I've been doing this since the days when Google Translate produced absolute gibberish, though at least I picked up some new vocabulary back then. But that's much, much different from saying my work is 'AI-generated'.
The content is entirely my own. -

@raven Exactly. I'm not against technology per se: think of T9 back in the day, or spell checkers, etc. I'm against the dehumanization of technology. By that, I mean when technology is abused to harm humans, whether it's by stealing their content, their intellectual skills, or anything else.

I wonder: Have you ever written a false article, to poison the AI bots? -

@PeterLG I'm not a native speaker so, from time to time, I use some tools to check my sentences or grammar. When I speak or use social media, I'm more direct and make mistakes.
I've done it for years, even before the AI started to be everywhere. But I don't use AI for writing. Or, maybe, I really am an AI powered coffee maker... 😆 -

All of them use land, scaffolding, etc. Try to avoid using those words. It's the ones that you also see on threads/twitter posts that were clearly AI generated.

@ClickyMcTicker @PeterLG In fact, it wasn't a coincidence...

@aspenrapid thank you!

@donburnside I know. But as a non-native speaker, my vocabulary can be quite limited. The paradox is that reading those words over and over again will probably make them stick in my mind.
Writing in Italian is completely different, of course. -

Perhaps your posts are just too great to be thought of hand-written for those who haven't seen your posts before.I have seen my tech blogs crawled several times as well, but I think it's a good sign for traffic (and even my colleagues said 'oh this post is good', but they didn't know it's written by myself lol)

@Pouakai oh maybe my posts are so bad that they seem produced by an AI 😂

That makes sense. It's quite a moral dilemma. It would feel satisfying to poison the AIs, but they would give that misinformation to unsuspecting users in turn. -

Containers are showing their age. I wonder what comes next.
Don't get me wrong. Containers were a good step forward. Better than JARs or binaries and much better than shipping around entire VMs like we did with Vagrant.
Containers helped with three problems (1) isolation on shared resources, (2) build replication, and (3) a single, standardized, and configurable artifact.1/
