For me, it's mostly in the rhythm and pacing of the sentences -- everything is sooo so punchy. Paragraphs are composed of high-impact, terse sentences. Phrases like "Both perspectives, one person", separated on their own line

This might be interesting, but it reads so strongly like AI slop I had to stop.

I’d argue that talking about “authentic” AI-generated images is oxymoronic.

Same here about distrusting pieces that use AI art. It’s like… a signifier of something hard to describe — values, qualities — that makes me want to listen to someone’s point of view less.

I try to always work on something that’s contributing to something I care about in the world. I find that motivation is less of an issue if there’s intrinsic value to the work I’m doing.

For me, the "bloat" issue is less significant than the way that Electron apps don't have native macOS controls. They feel like a web app in a window, and attempts to emulate macOS-style controls just feel like facsimiles.
