100% not sarcastic. I disabled all continuity options and the annoying delay to bring up the context menu is gone. My phone is my only apple product. I don't need it.
So after disabling this I realised since I only have an iPhone (and no Mac or other Apple devices) I should disable anything and everything in the settings that syncs stuff between devices. There was also one about the Focus options (like Do Not Disturb) and some other ones. I figure this can only simplify everything and speed up the phone if it never has to check for any (non existent) device to sync settings against. Still have all my local phone settings backing up to iCloud
blog now disclose: "AI is one more tool. I use it for mechanical tasks: polishing the wording, catching typos, suggesting synonyms, improving or adapting code blocks and translating the article between Spanish and English."
Third option: just be honest. Perhaps even apologize. The post is unequivocally Ai slop. Moreover, the style doesn't match your comments here, or other blog posts, at all.
Here’s a little analogy: I’ve been composing electronic music for 35 years now, and some people still think it’s just a matter of pressing buttons, that it’s easy, that anyone can do it the same way, that I do this because I don’t have what it takes to learn to play a “real instrument” and that I’m not a “real musician”.
You get used to it, and eventually you stop caring. Too bad for them if they’re more interested in the process than in the work itself.
I don't think that's a good analogy. Learning a "real" instrument is extremely difficult and takes thousands of hours. Writing your own blog post without AI takes like half an hour.
It's not really because everyone learns at school. And in fact it only takes a few years (my kids are going through it now and I was surprised at how quickly they went from not being able to read at all, to having better handwriting than me).
It's like, learning a language is really hard. Learning your native language is super easy, barely an inconvenience.
So I think I would be more accepting if he said "sorry I can't speak English because it's a second language so I used AI to help", but he didn't.
I think you both had a different meaning behind the verb 'write'. You clearly refer to the physical act of writing, while OP refer's to writing as an author (ie be enjoyable to read), which most people never achieve.
