Fuck AI

I tried reading Infinite Jest for the first time.

In a pre-LLM world, this kind of word waffling nonsense would seem impressive, but as someone who picked it up to see what it's about in a post-LLM world.... I have few good things to say about this style of pointless writing.

It's something that I used to excel at too: a long litany of rhythmically satisfying prose that showcased your penchant for picking out the perfect words to soothe the literary soul whilst saying absolutely nothing at the same time.

Then I learned how to write to clear English, and realised that I valued plot over filler most of all in a story.

I'm sorry, Mr Wallace, I just can't read your book any more.
