I'd rather Read the Prompt
A great take away form how I see the AI generated content, instead of seeing the summary of a persons prompts, I’d like to see the actual input and what the person was curious to know.
Clayton Ramsey writes in I’d rather read the prompt with the highlights of:
- I believe that the main reason a human should write is to communicate original thoughts. To be clear, I don’t believe that these thoughts need to be special or academic. Your vacation, your dog, and your favorite color are all fair game. However, these thoughts should be yours: there’s no point in wasting ink to communicate someone else’s thoughts.
- I would rather see than the original prompt. The resulting output has less substance than the prompt and lacks any human vision in its creation.
# Or Ai;dr: Ai; didn’t read
Similar to rather reading your prompt, is ai;dr | Sid’s Blog:
I need to know there was intention behind it. That someone wanted to get their thoughts out and did so, deliberately, rather than chucking a bullet list at an AI to expand.
Again, if you didn’t spend the time to actually write it, why should someone spend time to read it ?!
I have similar a similar view on that topic, I’ve writen extensively at Will AI Replace Human Thinking.
