Are parenthetical interrupters or negative parallelisms inherently bad? No. Overusing them gets pretty grating though. Just as establishing decisions or shared understandings of concepts in a paper isn’t a bad thing. But pasting a dictionary definition is incredibly gauche.

it’s not that any of these writing ticks are particularly bad, it’s just that language models are not tactful writers. I bet when Claude was in pre-training school it loved starting essays with “Websters Dictionary defines (word) as…”
you know how sometimes you read text and it just stinks of ai? wikipedia has a great list of tells: https://t.co/V6CiJXuW9j i thought it'd be fun to put all of it into a system prompt to avoid having text sound AI generated - it works pretty well. prompt in the reply below:

Idk if it’ll calm down some point soon but we’re headed into year 7 of SwiftUI. Can an old person tell me if UIKit in 2008-2015 was like this

Was thinking more about this. Part of this is just how fast SUI moves. Consider a full width button: the “proper” way to do it changes every year. Button with Text between spacers. Then maxWidth infinity. Then relativeContainerFrame. New this year is .buttonSizing(.flexible)
Four times in four days I've been asked for advice on working with AI-generated Swift code, so here you go – here's a brief article about dubious code I suggest you watch out for, and what to replace it with instead:

‘UI’ isn’t going anywhere. The future of interfaces is adaptive, perceptive, and meets us where we are. They feel second nature to use. The idea that everything will be voice with no visual representations misunderstands how humans communicate and process information best.
UI is pre-AI.

i am so tired of losers and idiots trying to make their failure a national emergency. the essay fucking sucked. you’re not good enough. move on.
For a psychology course at the University Oklahoma, Samantha Fulnecky was asked to write a 650-word essay reacting to an article about how people are perceived based on societal expectations of gender. In her essay, Fulnecky argued that traditional gender roles should not be
