It's about honesty and professionalism, whatever tool you use.


You're not defined by your output. A web developer doesn't just churn out code; a technical writer doesn't just write Markdown, and so on. Conflating deliverables with a craft is wrong.


A pilot doesn't just fly the plane. But can you be a pilot if you don't fly the plane?


It’s even more nuanced than that.

You could pilot a crewed vehicle without a license, but that is, usually, not lawful. You might not be a pilot, but you would be piloting.

You are a pilot if you have a license, and you usually cannot obtain a license without having flown a plane with instructional personnel.

In some places you may pilot a drone for which you don’t have to maintain a license or registration.



Your link doesn't work for me. Try this: https://www.televideo.rai.it/televideo/pub/index.jsp

By the way, an interesting book called "La TV da sfogliare. 1984-2024. 40 anni di Televideo" by Guido Barlozzetti came out this year.

It's super interesting (if you speak Italian and) if you're curious about the history of the Italian teletext.


Yes! That was precisely my point here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44837875


As a tech writer, I feel like I'm becoming a context curator: I'll still write, with AI being one of the readers. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44837875


Ah dangit. I was expecting a deeper conclusion. Then I checked on GPTZero and turns out the article is very likely to be AI-made. The header, too (you can tell). I'm not sure I should be taking advice from an LLM...



Nope, I didn't use an LLM. Disclaimer is in the footer. :)


Indeed. :)


No, not a majority yet. Forgot to add "bleeding edge" :)


Okay, gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up!
