  1. "Are we heading toward an AI utopia, an AI dystopia… or something in between?

    In this episode of Technical Writing Uncensored, I sit down with technical writer and blogger Fabrizio Ferri-Benedetti to talk about how AI and LLMs are changing technical writing — and what writers should actually be worried about.

    Fabri writes the excellent Passo Uno blog, where he explores technical writing, AI, and the future of documentation.
    Read his blog here: passo.uno

    We discuss whether AI will replace writers, how technical writers can stay relevant, and why writers might actually become more important in an AI-driven world.

    Fabri also explains why writers should think of AI as “a second language”, not something that replaces human expertise.

    We also discuss:
    Why AI is more like a tool (a hammer) than an autonomous intelligence
    Why good documentation is essential for AI systems
    Whether tech writers will become editors and prompt architects
    Why writers need a “mental gym” to keep their thinking sharp

    This conversation is a thoughtful look at the real impact of AI on technical writing, without the hype.

  3. Today’s Quordle was balanced challenging but not brutal. Hints pointed to words about danger, space rovers, joy, and unburned items. The final answers? CHURN, STUNT, MADAM, GAZER. Four grids, nine tries, and a satisfying finish for puzzle fans.

  4. Ah yes, the groundbreaking "Square Theory" 🤔, where crossword aficionados gather in a digital town square to wax poetic about intersecting words like it's the next scientific revolution. 😂 Because nothing screams innovation like a bunch of nerds in a Discord server dissecting four-letter words. 🚀🔡

  6. Hey #WordNerds,
    You know how 'unprecedented' needed a long spell in a good paddock after being absolutely flogged during the early years of the #COVID19Pandemic? (Reminder: #COVIDisNotOver)
    I think the metaphorical use of 'journey' (esp. in health settings) needs a similar chance to recover.
    What say you?

    "The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood he was one of them."
