I don’t mind articles that have a hint of “an AI helped write this” as long as the content is actually informationally dense and well explained. But this article is an obvious ad, has almost no interesting information or summaries or insights, and has the… weirdly chipper? tone that AI loves to glaze readers with.
- tptacek 1y agoHow is this an ad? It's a couple thousand words about how they built something complicated that was then obsoleted.
- serf 1y agoin the same vein that a 'Behind The Scenes Look At The Making of Jurassic Park' is , in fact, an ad. having a company name pitched at you within the first two sentences is a pretty good give away.
- tptacek 1y ago3/4 of what hits the front page is an "ad" by that standard. I don't see how you can get less promotional than a long-form piece about why your tech is obsolete. Seems just mean-spirited.
- dymk 1y agoIt’s because the article’s main goal is to sell me the company’s product, not inform me about RAG. It’s a zero calorie article.
- nbstme 1y agohaha so true!
- SV_BubbleTime 1y ago> 3/4 of what hits the front page is an "ad" by that standard. Is anyone disagreeing with that?
- nbstme 1y agoWhy call it an ad? It’s not even on the company site. I only mentioned my company upfront so people get context (why we had to build a complex RAG pipeline, what kinds of documents we’re working with, and why the examples come from real production use cases).
- dymk 1y agoIt stands out because the flow and tone was clearly AI generated. It’s fluff, and I don’t trust it was written by a human who wasn’t hallucinating the non-company related talking points.
