I read a couple of messages on an IETF mailing list this weekend, quite clearly AI-assisted. They were brief, accurate, helpful and informative.
And then today, I read the announcement of a new piece of software. Longer and apparently written with much assistance from Claude ("this is the thing that has the trait", oh please Claude, stop it). The announcement explained the purpose of the new software, then explained the relevant tradeoffs and problems. It covered every question I had without bloat.
Yet both of them had that AI tone and it was really difficult to not react negatively. Not sure what to say.
