Agreed. Its so tedious that the top comment section on every HN post the last six months is "this seems be written by LLM" with a bunch of back and forth on whether it is or not.
- amarant 6mo agoOnce I was tempted to say that those comments themselves were written by llms, but honestly I've yet to find a model quite so uncreative as that.
- grufkork 6mo agoI mean, a lot of it is. Green user, signed up 49mins ago, 5 comments, which erodes trust in real people as well. I’ve noticed I’ve just felt less engaged and more anxious about all kinds of online content. While most platforms were previously botted, had adverts, etc… You could always find niche corners where there were only people talking about things they genuinely cared about. Now you can fill out even those spaces automatically.
- bakugo 6mo agoProbably because most HN posts in the last six months have been written by LLMs. Not all, but that doesn't matter, the trust has been eroded to the point that clicking on an article on the front page of HN and not being immediately met with the sloppiest slop imaginable is now a standout event in my mind.
- watwut 6mo agoAs a daily user of HN, this is not true. Maybe you are clicking on different headlines, but the ones I am clicking on dont have that as top comment all that often. They do not even have it as a comment somewhere all that often.
