That piece was well written; surprisingly coherent on a topic that's very difficult to write about. The fact you didn't understand it on first read does not mean it was "probably written by an AI".
Imo there's no chance whatsoever that it was written by an AI. You can google the author and see her consistent writing style, her qualifications, etc. There were no hallucinations or non sequiturs. The article was structured, with a clear thread through, and relevant examples. There were even quite human proofreading errors.
The LLM you gave this to correctly delineated the thrust of the article, and gave a decent summary. Maybe try reading it again after coffee? And, please, refrain from accusing writers of being LLMs without the slightest bit of proof. It's terribly rude.
- yodon 2y ago"This feels like it was written by AI" has become the single most tedious trope here on HN. I think it's time to start flagging it. In the lion's share of cases, it wasn't written by AI. Over time that will get even harder to assess. If it was written by, and it gets upvoted, does it really matter? The upvoting is itself a sign that the content is interesting, whether it was written by a human, a dog, or an ai.
