Hi ,

Author here, first time hearing this broetry. Get it!

I talk to llm with my genuine story, it adapts to a format what it thinks people wanna read.

Still my story, just suck at formatting as English is not my native language.

Ill try and iterate on the next one.

Cheers

I recommend not using an LLM to write your posts for you. It makes your writing sound bland and similar to the infinite other LLM-generated posts polluting the web.

On tech-oriented sites like HN, Lobsters, and reddit, readers are going to notice the style, and it will turn them off. Generally, people on HN find it rude to share AI-generated blog posts here.[0]

You can use an LLM to get feedback on your writing, but you should be the one making decisions about the actual words you write, not just blindly delegating the whole job to an LLM.

Thanks for that feedback, ill try to follow that practice.

Always feel like then my words feel like a scramble and haters are gonna complain “you can’t even write English“
