I am unimpressed by artifacts that, even a year ago, were impressive. Websites, apps, 3D renderings, interactive tech designs — anyone with a Claude subscription can churn these out like factory widgets.
If you want my attention, show me you care.
- Show: I can tell how little you’ve invested when your writing sounds like an LLM or your artifacts look like everyone else’s.
- Me: My time and attention are still scarce. Please respect that.
- You: I want to hear from you. Really. Not an LLM.
- Care: I hope you care. If you don’t, I don’t care either.
Here are some tips for showing me that you care:
- Tell me when you’ve used an LLM where I wouldn’t expect it. For example, please, please, do not send me a Slack message that sounds like it was written by Claude.
- Make your ideas easy to understand. I don’t want to read another wall of text. There are too many of them.
- Ship high-quality stuff. You can test your software more easily than ever.
Show me you care, and I’ll care too.
