    Using an LLM doesn’t break the rules. This post’s fate will be determined by your votes.

      I appreciate that they mentioned it.

      I’m not particularly good at writing, I can understand why someone would ask an LLM to help them clarify their ideas. The intent here is obviously to improve their content rather than as a crutch to feed us shit. Whether it’s better than just writing this personally I don’t know.

    Ugh why can’t you read the article without Javascript? Trying to do that gives you the error message: " You need to enable JavaScript to run this app."

    That reminds me. There was a post on Lemmy recently about “graceful degradation”. One useful tip from that post was about maintaining a balance with your sites.

    DO NOT use Javascript to implement vital content and navigation (especially if you are running a blog or some other information heavy site).

    If you do use Javascript, only use it to support ‘nice-to-have’ features. Good candidates for ‘nice-to-have’ features would be things that can break, but wouldn’t impact the user experience significantly.

    Anyways why am I yapping about this? I’m hoping this is read by someone planning to start a website or blog, and that they’ll take this into consideration.

    Edit: Double ugh. I just noticed they used an LLM to write a 5 minute article. Dude literally left em dashes and kept the grammar the same. You can’t make this shit up.

    I swear Lemmy is the only place where a throwaway sentence (in a comment that has nothing to do with that topic) becomes a giant pedantic thread about em dashes. Wtf is this platform lmao.

    It reminds me of my post about Stop Killing Games where half the comments became about video vs text 😂
