Indeed.

I LOVE reading LLM content. I find that they tend to present things in a way that keeps my attention - something I have struggled with my whole life. I also use LLMs to assist with managing my own thoughts and helping make things coherent overall.

Sure, there is a LOT of slop out there, but the promotion of quality content is what crowd-sourced curation like HN tends towards. Much of the LLM assisted content here has a high signal to noise ratio, and is clearly a lot more involved than simply prompting "write an article on X" - despite what the haters say.

LLM content immediately distracts my attention to the fact that it is LLM content, and I focus immediately on that "meta" issue to the exclusion of whatever the content is.

And generally I find that the content isn't that high quality. You're getting someone who superficially appears like an expert and looks like they've thought through the problem, but if you know anything about the problem, you'll find that the articles are usually weak (Gell-Mann Amnesia).

you are inverse to basically everyone with an education, is the problem. LLM content is the polar opposite - it immediately drains anyone with even a modest amount of attention span or intelligence due to the way it phrases and does linguistic gymnastics for absolutely zero benefit to anyone. All in an attempt to look impressive, like humans used to do by using words they don't understand.
