Comment on Ask HN: What skills are worth learning long-term against AI?

Comments

Writing has proven to be surprisingly resistant to Ai. Or re-writing people's AI-generated papers to sound more human or readable. AI-generated writing has a certain unmistakable clunkiness that tends to give it away.

Totally agree, it’s the textual equivalent of the visual uncanny valley. Communication in general is obviously not gonna go away. Certain kinds of corporate copy-writing where the tone matches the LLM is probably not as resistant. It’ll be interesting to see to what extent that uncanny effect will be reduced over the next decade.

Give it another year at maximum. Claude already sounds a lot less robotic than GPT4, and I heard of some smaller models sounding quite natural.
