Solid 2.0 RC: The Big <Reveal>

The article reads eerily like the Claude-authored drafts I did for some internal explanations of Relay’s design philosophy (it’s a GraphQL client I’ve been advocating for). I’m not one to make accusations of AI authorship, but it was a particularly striking impression with this one.

I had to rewrite the drafts very heavily in my own voice in order for people to enjoy reading them —- not that I’m a great writer, but I am human and people tend to appreciate that.

Hey want to see what AI generates when I ask it to talk about Solid 2.0. It's not that. It is:

I probably wasn’t clear with my experience. I was trying to get Claude to present my ideas, with a lot of steering and refinement, but it always seemed to be plagued by Claudisms. Even after getting rid of most, it took me rewriting all the prose to get something which people felt comfortable reading.

The published post reminded my of where I got to after several rounds of review and cleanup.
