I skimmed this whole article and didn't see any classic LLM tells about it. Why do you think it is LLM generated?

The recently released models have improved their writing styles. I don't know about this article, but if that's any indication of their writing habits, the author's github pages repo is full of posts generated by Claude.

Here's the thing, HN'ers have detected 200 of the last 10 AI written articles posted. We really seem to suck at it.

Worse the tools for detecting it have an insane false detection rate. ESL = FP. Good writer = FP. Garbage human slop writer = A'ok.

Detection tools in general have a bad selectivity and sensitivity, but there's consensus that Pangram is generally accurate and reliable. I don't use these tools much, but that's the word among people I trust, and that's what I see when I try it.

And, well, neither of us really knows the ground truth. Maybe the guy who has a repo filled with articles co-authored by Claude is actually not posting slop this time and HN users are wrong and Pangram flagging it is just a false positive. But I can't blame anyone for being tired of giving this the benefit of the doubt.

I'm ESL. The mistakes I make are part of what makes me human. If HN'ers are having an allergic reaction at the first hint of slop, it's because we've been drowning in it for months.

IMO, the article is well-written.

The author's picture clearly has an LLM-generated background, (and is a little tacky, IMO.) That being said, I wouldn't dismiss an article merely because someone used an LLM while setting up their blog.

The whole structure had a faint smell to it. It's hard to put into word, there was no obvious "it's not the quiet part. It's the load bearing bedrock", but the way the thing flowed made me strongly suspect LLM involvement.

First we had AI psychosis, now we have AI schizophrenia

Well, I could be wrong, and it wouldn't be the first time. Besides, some of those "tells" are actually good tricks, when used sparingly enough. And we humans are picking up on them, making us sound a bit more like a chat bot than we used to.

In the end we can't even tell what's what, it's exhausting.
