Ask HN: Is ChatGPT degrading your writing skills?
I've begun to notice that I have to spend a lot more effort when I want to write concise and unambiguous text. It is especially noticeable when I'm asking ChatGPT questions. I strongly suspect that this is because ChatGPT is capable of answering my questions even when they are vague and poorly worded, so I just don't care as much. In other words, there is no longer a pressure to formulate my questions very precisely, and that pressure is what was keeping my writing sharp.
Does anyone else notice this happening to them?
