Gergely Orosz says he is reviewing 125 submissions to The Pragmatic Engineer essay challenge, which required writers not to use AI. About 15 to 20 of the essays used AI heavily, so he will ignore them because separating the authors' own thinking from AI-generated text would take too much work.

About 15-20 still used AI heavily, so I have to ignore them b/c it would be far too much work to tell what is their own thoughts+learnings vs AI made it up
One of the easiest ways to stand out when writing or creating videos or posting: DONT. USE. AI. Suddenly you sound distinctively different from 80%+ ppl who do and output the same verbose + nicely formatted stuff that feels all the same (+ most ppl stop paying attention midway)View quoted post on X
