mostly because you're asking me to read claude transcripts as though those are actually interesting. i could have simply ignored your article like i do for dozens of others on HN daily, but i loathe the day the internet becomes articles written mostly by ai, summarized by ai, and consumed by ai-addled hobbyist "devs" who don't understand the degree to which they are ruining software
Did you read it? And why do you assume that it can't be interesting?
Honestly, as a writer, I sometimes spend a bunch of time writing an essay that's the result of a conversation, and I realize –– hours later –– that the conversation actually does a better job of exposing the idea and explaining it than the essay I worked so hard to produce.
I agree that Claude convos can be slop, but don't bash it before you read it!

I hope the web doesn't get filled with snapshots of our interactions with chatbots as original content to be consumed by others.
