I have a feeling this article was partly written by a GPT. This part > For LLMs to be effective, they require a few things: And then that list are just a dead giveaway. I'm not nearly as cynical about GPT as many are (in fact I use them myself), but I think text written by it should be marked as such. edit: The author expressed that it was indeed not written using any GPT.

> I think text written by it should be marked as such Good luck with that. It’s a tool.

  The problem is that it wastes the reader's time to parse the bullshit. Now of course a lot of humans write bullshit too, especially in areas that are at the peak of their current hype cycle ;)

I think your comment was written by a GPT, does that make it true? Please refrain from making baseless accusations.

  Luckily I didn't make any baseless accusations.

    Actually, you did make a totally baseless accusation and the fact that the person above you is being downvoted is evidence that the HN userbase is pretty awful at recognizing what "bases" are.

    Speculation then. Just because someone has a bulleted list in their blog post doesn't mean it's AI generated.

    The example they link is perfectly innocuous, and is in no way obviously generated by an AI.

(author here): it wasn't. This is how I write, and probably an example of ChatGPT flagging neurodivergent/non-native speakers as AI-generated.

  I experimented a bit with AI written blog posts on here, I'm actually pretty happy with the result: https://write.as/mnmlmnl/ https://write.as/mnmlmnl/ I push my bash history, attach a couple files, paste some doc and web references, and then lightly edit the result. Beats not writing the blog post. The tricky part is not getting fooled by the fact that it looks decent, and really put in the effort to think each sentence over to catch the misleading "fringe hallucinations" (as I call them, not full on hallucination, but mildly misrepresenting the actual intent/meaning).
