AI slop. Every article on this site has "The honest tradeoff" as a header. Looks like it was generated to promote a book which is no doubt also just slop.

I don't know if this Zig over C article is generated, but the Zig over Rust one [0] is painfully AI-written.

I'm not ideologically against AI, but I'd certainly not buy a book from someone who needs to use AI to write an article like that...

		How can you tell? I just scanned it but it doesn't feel like being generated.

Up until about a week ago, I had no sympathy for people complaining about "AI writing style" in articles - and then all of a sudden it hit me. Kind of like unexpectedly developing an allergy to sawdust.

Doesn't read AI generated at all.

		The prosody and the headline style is a dead giveaway but compared to other AI generated text this article is far more tolerable. Meanwhile no one's pointing out any technical errors.

This is a hallucination. I'm sorry. This is what we call these kind of statements these days. Unless you can prove your humanhood, that's how it is now.
