It makes me incredibly sad to see Osmani letting AI write his stuff for him.

I went to go find some of the stuff that he wrote pre-AI and found myself on his bio. Not only is it generated, it's incredibly clumsy and boastful.

    In sum, Addy Osmani’s career is a testament to the impact one engineer can have by combining technical excellence with education and community leadership.

    Osmani’s journey reflects the evolution of the web itself - ever faster, smarter, and more empowering for those who use it.

    Few individuals have done as much to push the web forward while uplifting its developers, and that legacy will be felt for a long time to come.
Who would put these embarrassing brags on their own website? Did he even read this?

I'd go a step further, this is hypocritical and insulting of him considering the content of the blog post.

"I’m not anti-AI. I use these tools daily and have shipped more with them in the last year than in the five years before it.

[...] Software Engineer at Google working on Google Cloud and Gemini."

The things he must have seen.
