Flutterby™! : response to neodrop

Written in response to some marketing from neodrop.ai:

Hi! I blog primarily for myself, so the act of writing is part of the memory and learning. And my readers, however many of them there may be, are there for an authentic version of me.

Similarly, when I read, I'd far rather get the authentic version of what the writer intends. If they're tempted to use an LLM to generate text, I get far more value from whatever they'd prompt it with than whatever comes through the LLM. My own brain does a better job of expanding those thoughts out than whatever stochastic mechanistic process the LLM applies.

So, yeah, I'm not your target audience, and if I think someone is using an LLM to expand their thoughts, I'll go read another source because it's more important for me to make human connection than to use the crutch of something that blurs facts and has no real understanding of the text.
