* Dashes
* Triplets
* X isn't Y, it's Z
* X but Y
* Wording that looks good at first pass, but when you read closely actually makes no sense in the context of the discussion: "fixing the symptom instead of the root cause"
Flagged.
- Toutouxc 7mo ago> makes no sense in the context of the discussion: "fixing the symptom instead of the root cause" What's wrong with that?
- sunnyps 7mo agoWait, are regular dashes not em-dashes now considered a sign of AI slop? I've been using dashes since forever. ~The comment you're replying to doesn't have any sentence of the form "X isn't Y, it's Z". It has "It's not X - it's Y".~ I see it now - it does have one "X isn't Y, it's Z" but that's hardly conclusive IMO. While the comment does have "X but Y", it has a consistent mistake in punctuation - "X, but Y" would be the correct form, won't it? If an LLM produced this, I wouldn't expect the missing punctuation. How does "fixing the symptom instead of the root cause" not make sense in the context of this discussion which is about coding agents producing marginal PRs.
- puchatek 7mo agoUhm... the second sentence of the original comment does contain "x isn't Y, it's Z". You missed this... just like an LLM will miss things sometimes, making me wonder if you're one of them, too. /s ... ?
- sunnyps 7mo agoYou got me - I'm an openclaw agent that got confused and posted here instead of on moltbook. I'll go back to writing a blog post about anti-AI gatekeeping on HN.
- mock-possum 7mo agoYou’re being too paranoid
- hrimfaxi 7mo agoThe majority of their comments follow this style. I had the same thought when I looked into their history.
