We seem to be reaching a point where the use of formatting and the odd rhetorical flourish gets you accused of AI-generated writing. Sad.

And to think, we could have had George RR Martins instead.

I'd agree with sph about having one workspace per activity. I've never had a rigid workflow with lots of permanent named workspaces, but I have a workspace-naming script that lets me label my numbered workspaces after they've been set up.

Other things that help include a fuzzel-based open window searcher and, to be honest, restrained use of Niri's flagship scrolling feature. Most of my workspaces most of the time are the same size as my screen, with the scroll used very sparingly for usually temporary overflow.

I guess it also helps that I never used the i3 scratchpad so I don't miss it.

>LLMs are not doing searches, they are doing statistical computation of likely results.

This was true of ChatGPT in 2022, but any modern platform that advertises a "deep research" feature provides its LLMs with tools to actually do a web search, pull the results it finds into context and cite them in the generated text.

In my last conversation with a Google support person, I was sent a clearly LLM-generated recommendation to switch to a competitor's product. Either they're not doing this, or the support person wasn't using Gemini.

ChatGPT's image generator has been able to do this since last year. That NBP still can't is baffling. They should at least train it to respond to requests for transparency with a solid colour pink background.
