Haters tell me "but that's not the technology's fault, you can also use it to enhance your own writing rather than outsource everything to the machine"
And this is a great lesson in User Experience Design: you CAN but you WON'T, because of how the software is designed.
Let's talk about friction.

LLMs are the ultimate capitalist technology, part n: negative externality edition. Increase your productivity by instantly generating something you can pass off as "done" - and screw the people downstream who are going to use your outputs as their inputs.

LLMs are slop machines. They mass-produce mediocrity. At best they elevate the nearly-literate to a level of "slightly inadequate".
The frictionless experience is framed as a universal good.
But a frictionless experience does not exist.
Consider the "frictionless" ability to generate 1000 AI job applications, vs the friction the recruiter now has.
Except it's then impossible to *find* anything, ever again. The data, structured for feeds, resists navigation.
And the internet was instantly flooded with shit, because it was also optimized - for frictionless input.
Your typical LLM output is text.
Text goes into text. Frictionless.
Except the box's designer assumed that the text passed through the filter of a human brain.
Otherwise, people will happily go down the path of least resistance and do the wrong thing!!!
Now it's opinion.
