My firefox automatically installed perplexity search engine — it's actually much better in for just searching the web. Or use Grok. If you need to generate content there are lots of better AI-s which do not limit request rate as heavily: gemini, deepseek, qwen. If you need to write and refactor code, Claude is the best one I've met — but it's mediocre at pretty much anything else. I stopped using ChatGPT after summer 2025 incident with response quality plummeting. It was average LLM before that incident, but afterwards there was really no reason to get back to ChatGPT again for me.

Have you used it to write any blog posts, lately?
Funny question, considering the fact I've posted a link to my recent article onto the main page. I employ LLM-s a lot.

Few days ago I made an experiment — put my article into Qwen and asked to evaluate it for LLM-generated content. To my amazement it told me the article is 70-90% AI-generated. Which is even more weird considering the fact I know I wrote it all top to bottom. I think I spend so much time in LLM conversations I actually started copying LLM style.

I mean if you look into the article https://bykozy.me/blog/rust-is-a-disappointment/ — it's structured exactly like LLM implicit templates (a.k.a. fine tuning training datasets) do: short reiteration of the question, list of key points, key points explained exactly one by one, final summary. However, why would I not write the article this way? Just to make sure a person skimming the article would not pattern-match it to "formatted as LLM output"?

If I wanted to disguise an AI-generated article as a 100% human content — I would do it. But thanks for the suggestion — might be viable to consider doing so, because I just scare too many people away this way.
