Our readingWhat is a korrent?
Drawn from what Gergely Orosz said
writing Prose as thinking: writing well, writing by hand while a model offers to do it, and who will still be able to.
AI writing Prose a model wrote: what gives it away, what it does to reading, and whether anyone should publish it.
The reason for this hardline stance is that we believe in the value of human thought and experience, as told by people with first-hand knowledge. It’s also about the audience: The “audience” for AI-written code is usually a machine, whereas the writing in Pragmatic Engineer is for humans, by humans. AI produces a statistical average in its output which creates uniform, dull text that’s an inferior reading experience to human writing – at least today it is.
