| While I appreciate and agree with the key points of the post, Claude's writing style fingerprints are all over it and I guess it's even more exhausting to read someone's AI written article. |

| I don't think it is AI, but I bet it has been through editing/review to match a corporate style. LLMs were trained on this. |

| ▲ | anon373839 an hour ago | parent | next [-] | | The writing style, if not AI, is at least a bit tryhard. Turning to the substance of the article: why do people feel the need to run this fast? I have certainly experimented with letting coding agents run amok. The first few times you try it, it feels like a superpower. Then you start examining the icky choices they made in a codebase that is now a dense forest. Then you have to expend a bunch of effort beating it back into submission. Or I guess you can YOLO and throw more AI at it, but then I agree with the person quoted saying "at that point, what am I still doing here?" This is not a satisfying or sustainable way to build, and there really is no reason other than hype and FOMO to do it. | |

| "It's not" - 3 matches Dashline - present Yes, it's AI-written |

| ▲ | tharkun__ 9 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | This very well may be AI written. Then again, the stuff our PMs output, all pre-AI, now would all qualify as "AI written". There are certain writing styles, which even if you wrote them all yourself, most people will now attribute to AI. The all-too-common em-dash, yes sure. Guess what, it's a thing that was actually taught as "the thing to use if you write properly". So guess what lots of folks consciously put into their writing to sound more professional even before AI. Bingo! Similarly CVs. A lot of the stuff that lots of us complain about post-AI was "good practice to do" pre-AI. But most people didn't bother. Couldn't be bothered. Now that AI was trained on it and people ask their AIs to write CVs, it's all over the place. A cover letter that actually picks up on the actual job description posted and connects it up to your CV? That used to be hard work and most people didn't bother. It made you stand out. Now it "reeks of AI" :shrug: | |
| ▲ | samplatt 2 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | "It's not" only has two matches; the third is "It's noticable". The other two are a whole paragraph dedicated to "it's not X, it's Y" which is a little more than you'd normally expect. Firefox doesn't seem to discriminate between em-dashes and hyphens using ctrl-F so I'm not sure about those. Having said that the tone REEKS of AI generation, so meh. |

| The most exhausting thing is listening to everyone complain about ai writing. It's the norm now and it isn't going away. |

| ▲ | happytoexplain 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I have such a hard time believing the implied premise of these complaints-about-complaints. Just say you don't mind AI writing - make that argument. Don't make this nonsensical, defeatist, "if it's common, stop criticizing it" argument. | | |
| ▲ | singingtoday 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Well put. This kind of rebuttal, the "I'm not A, you're A", is not only tired, it's a strait up school yard fallacy. | |
| ▲ | maxcoder3344 an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | I mean fine contine to whine and not read articles that used AI. Enjoy reading nothing ever again and constantly making the comment "omg ai". | | |

| ▲ | maxcoder3344 an hour ago | parent [-] | | No. I created an account for this. Hacker news used to be a place I could come read interesting content and peoples reactions and thoughts to it. now it's interesting articles with 100% of the comments whining that it's written by AI. Sad what hackernews has become | | |

| ▲ | singingtoday 2 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | If complaining is exhausting to you, then I recommend avoiding Internet comments. | | |
| ▲ | maxcoder3344 an hour ago | parent [-] | | Nah just whining about AI. At least it has given the hoards of uninteresting people something to comment on every single hackernews article now |
