Thinking for yourself in an llm world #quote #thinking #writing

Quote from "The Peterman Pod: Mozilla Firefox CTO on Browser War Stories and the Path to Distinguished Engineer"

I think it is one of the most powerful ways to create clarity of thinking for yourself, because clarity of thinking is, in my view, one of the most important things. And you only can really get that by forcing yourself to write down your ideas. And so I suppose one pertinent or timely piece of advice is, if you care about this, do not use an LLM to produce text for YouTube.

Because first of all, if you're putting your name on this thing, at least today, the LLM is like, it's pretty easy to tell when somebody does that. But more importantly, you are losing the opportunity to do the thinking yourself. And that thinking that happens when you write is one of the most important types of thinking for growth.
