No need to read them, just a vibe check would be insightful. It's weird how branding, even before AI had a lot of the same catchy patterns, and now it's hard to define what is the right prose (engineers might want one thing and other role families others) and sometimes you're trying to write almost with the "everyone else bag in mind" because that's the personal connections you link your "here's what I often repeat in written form".
No, they don't, and I don't try to judge a book by its cover, anyway.
TBC, I don't dislike LLM-written articles because I think the author is being lazy, and I can even live with the LLM-isms. I dislike LLM-written articles in the main because they're lousy at serving their purpose of communicating some interesting human thought to other humans. They are very good at creating the illusion that's what's happening, hence all the upvotes.
Maybe it is. But the comments complaining about it are worse than the posts themselves. And as I wrote, many of them are wrong. Downvote or ignore, and move on, please.
My bank is now doing this: for a few newish and not-quite-essential services you can only use their app, the rest you can still do via the web.
The same has been going on with radio and podcasts for a while: e.g., the BBC, or my newspaper, wants me to install their app to listen to their streams or podcasts, while I much rather concentrate all my listening in one central radio or podcast app for all my sources. Note that a system for paid-only podcast subscriptions via generic podcast apps actually exists, but I've never used it since no podcast maker I listen to actually uses it.
I actually don't know what you mean by PWA. Is that a mobile web site? And by installing it, do you mean installing a link to it on a phone's launcher?
That, but with a little more ceremony. It gets treated as a separate app by mobile OS app switchers and doesn't show the browser's chrome or other open tabs.
Haha. Not sure if this was intentional but this is exactly my point! If someone on HN doesn't know what a PWA is, what chance does the average user have?
