When a long article is topped by an AI-generated image, it makes me wonder if I should bother reading. Did a human write this?

When I get the sense that something might be generated I ctrl+f "honest" and "framing".

These are words that humans use, but that Claude loves to use in a particular way, the kind of way used in this article. It particularly likes the phrase "The honest version".

I got about halfway through before the AI cliches drove me away.

It appears to be a mix. I sense that a human wrote it, or at least parts of it, and AI was used for polish. But the LLM-isms are definitely obvious.

It's the same thing that's been AI-rehashed 10,000 times already - did you read one of those?

Yes of course.

Why? You are already on hn which filters content before you read it

		What is wrong? I do not mind at all that someone creates an AI Image to decorate a blog article. I'm also not directly offended if someone is using an LLM to write text. And i find it a valid argument, that people who post on HN and get enough votes for content, people read and liked, that this can be enough as a filter or quality gate.

Just a funny observation, apologies in advance:

I am rewatching Stargate SG-1 with my children right now and cannot read this comment except in the voice of Teal’c.

In the previous episode the team was in 1969 on a hippy bus.

My advice is to chill out a little…

I'm just gobsmacked at how self-absorbed this is.

I was listening to some obscure band you wouldn't know with a few chicks I met roller blading last week, and I can't help but read your comment while imagining the first few notes of the second song playing. After that we watched The Simpsons and my advice is to not eat a cow, man.

		But on second consideration, I also want to apologize to you. It's not that your comment in a vacuum is so terribly, incredibly self-absorbed. It's the cumulative effect of many little such comments over time, which I pay way too much attention to, and you could say your comment "triggered" me and I let all that frustration out in one solid chunk of snark. "Gobsmacked" is really the wrong word for that. I sometimes am, but your comment isn't the one. The truth is, I still don't know how to put it more nicely, but please have the generosity to take my lampooning of your comment as the time honored tradition of whatever you call it when you point out the flaw in something by driving it to an absurd extreme. It does have a place, but my eye-rolling "being gobsmacked" was a bit too much indignation. tbh when I wrote that I thought I ought to get flak for that, but fuck it, I'm annoyed, I'll say it anyway. But I didn't get flak so now I feel the need to calibrate it myself a little. In short, I think you're wrong, that comment was bleh, but so was mine. Have a great weekend and much fun showing your kid stuff you both enjoy.
