If you think antirez wrote that with AI then your AI detection insincts are way off. It reads like someone with (good) English as a second language. LLMs don't write like that.

It wouldn't be a bad thing though would it? Because AI is in fact amazing.

  I don't like reading undisclosed AI writing. It feels disrespectful of my time.

    Would you be offended about undisclosed AI code? And is 100% of your blog 0% LLM (or disclosed as LLM)? This isn't LLM output for example?: > The wild thing is that all three of these projects weren’t even a priority for me—they were side quests, representing pure curiosity that I could outsource to Claude Code and solve in the background while I was occupied with something else.

      Code doesn't bother me as much, because it's not claiming to be the opinions of the person who wrote it. My problem is LLMs making statements on people's behalf as if they represent the position of that person. Your example of my writing there isn't LLM generated. Did you get caught out by the em-dash? That's thanks to this 10+ year old string replacement: https://github.com/simonw/simonwillisonblog/blob/b8066f870a94d149f5e8cee6e787d3377c0b9507/blog/templatetags/entry_tags.py#L217-L219 https://github.com/simonw/simonwillisonblog/blob/b8066f870a9... The only LLM writing on my blog is from when VS Code or Apple Notes occasionally help complete a sentence for me.

        > Code doesn't bother me as much, because it's not claiming to be the opinions of the person who wrote it. Sees a little like moving the goalposts. Who says undisclosed AI writing in a blog claims to be the opinions any more or less than someone submitting a PR?

        Just telling you why I feel this way. What's your opinion on AI-generated writing in comparison to AI-generated code? Your "Because AI is in fact amazing" came across as sarcastic to me, so I'm guessing you're not a fan of either?
