And people brewing coffee on a keurig don’t think about the process of making coffee as much as someone who grinds their own beans and brews a pour-over.

The output of the two is different. And while they can serve the same function (providing caffeine in the form of a drink), if someone needs artisan coffee, the keurig will not do.

And if someone has only ever used a keurig, they may not know where to start.

Anyways, I contend that we need to do a better job actually interesting people in artisan essays, so the slop produced by LLMs is more easily identified as such.

Of course that requires a desire to educate people for a reason other than extracting economic value from them, so it’s unlikely to become widespread.
