I've been basically clankermaxxing in coding for years now and using AI chats for rubber ducking and "research" (scraping web and generating a dumpster folder of markdown "knowledge"). Also I work alone so what would be reading stack overflow I substituted with mountains of slop.

My thoughts on this are: if you are soulless I don't care what you write about and how you communicate, but if you try to present human, personal ideas with heavy AI writing signs I will give you the same consideration as if a toaster was talking to me.

For example: any kind of corporation communication, linkeding, marketing, pure technical docs, code, etc. I don't care the slightest, it never was human communication, they are just artifacts. I don't care if it's slop, I'm ok talking to your claw slack bot if when I ask I get the massaged info I need.

But if you trick me into talking with you/reading your blog and you outsource your thinking and/or writing to a clanker without disclosing it or convincing me why, you are silicon to me.

Yes because using "clankermaxxing" in your writing is totally not soulless. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sb--BiQogQ8
