So I guess the hacker news downvote police got after this one because it was actually informative? Am I reading this right?

One cool thing about reading different forums for decades is you get this instinct on spotting AI-generated content. Obviously not 100%, and if you tune your prompts properly it’s impossible to catch. However this just doesn’t sound human-y. No clue how to explain it.

But it also sucks because I’m sure I incorrectly tag some real comments as AI slop.

You are right. However I've found most market absolutists write similar to this. The fault is always someone else's. I had thought I had gotten the contents humanly sociopathic enough to go below the LLM radar.

I actually intended to leave a comment explaining but I started to lose points and deleted the explanation; I was however unable to delete the main comment.

		I wouldn’t trip It’s pervasive at this point that “its AI” is a lazy retort when people have to use a portion of their brains

More because it's AI-slop that doesn't say much more than "government and big business bad".

I don’t see a trace of mark down or em dashes. I think maybe you’re perhaps a little too emotionally invested in politics

Firstly, I could care less about the regional politics of Hawaii's infrastructure. I was just answering why this was likely getting downvoted.

As for it being AI, GPTZero puts it at 99% AI. "Insolvency insurance" is used out of context, incorrectly mixing the financial metaphors he told the AI to use with the more-relevant idea of flood insurance (was insolvency supposed to be the AI's attempt at a pun around liquids?). There's the classic AI "it isn't X, it's Y" structure structure at the end. The whole thing reads as a prompt of "Recontextualize the potential flood caused by the failure of Wahiawa Dam in Hawaii through a lens of politics, business, and finance".

Markdown, em-dashes, and emojis were AI-slop 101 a year ago. You gotta keep up.

There is actually an em dash in there,

it isn't a disaster—it's the violent…

		I didn't say there wasn't an em dash, but thought it was worth pointing out the totality of things that stuck out to me as AI evidence.
