<p><strong><a href="https://gruhn.me/blog/2026-08-03/">Don't be a meat proxy</a></strong></p> Niklas Gruhn coins an excellent new term - <strong>meat proxy</strong> - for people who blindly copy and paste the output of AI systems to their peers.</p> <blockquote> <p>By all means, prompt AI. But don't just relay the output. Read it, understand it, validate it, and then write a response in your own words (a decent certificate that you've done the prior steps). Making that effort is value you can add.</p> </blockquote> <p><small></small>Via <a href="https://lobste.rs/s/hfbqr3/don_t_be_meat_proxy#c_svolls">Lobste.rs</a></small></p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/definitions">definitions</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/ai">ai</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/generative-ai">generative-ai</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/llms">llms</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/ai-misuse">ai-misuse</a></p>
