How is this highly upvoted and on the front page? It's so clearly at least 50% AI written slop, probably closer to 95%. Wow HN these days... this site is dying, completely overrun by bots.
- 7777332215 8mo agoUnfortunately it is seemingly being overran by bots. What's the solution? Just read curated lists of blogs directly?
- gas9S9zw3P9c 8mo agoI don't know either what the solution is other than human verification, but nobody wants that. Perhaps the times of semi-anonymous online communities are over and the best you can do now is follow real people you trust that can filter content for you.
- 7777332215 8mo agoEven with human verification, people are going to verify, then conduct bot activity. And worse, use other people's identities to verify, then spam.

- gas9S9zw3P9c 8mo agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signs_of_AI_writing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signs_of_AI_writing is a good starting point. You start seeing patterns at some point. But more important than the writing style, there is no interesting content here. It's all generic statements and platitudes with a bunch of generated links.
- swordsith 8mo agoI use a ML model i trained off of AI and human text, it flags mostly as Claude. The article even references claude.
- H8crilA 8mo agoBecause it contains information. Content > form, this is one of the cornerstones of hacker culture actually.
