Did OP write this by hand? It reads like language written by a human overfitted on GPT 4o or Claude.

- jgilias 5mo agoIf they basically generated a desktop for themselves, what’s the chance they didn’t generate the article? I think pretty slim. Also, reading it is probably not the intended use. It’s probably: “Hey Claude, give me a TLDR of this”
- swaits 5mo agoWho cares? It’s their content. If they hired an editor to help them, cool. If the content doesn’t suit you, move on. But the incessant “AI was used here, thus is it garbage” is long past time to enter the grave.
- geir_isene 5mo ago^^ some anti-luddism right there
- wiseowise 5mo agoLuddism is when you don't bother reading what someone didn't bother to write.
- geir_isene 5mo agoDictionaries on the second row down that aisle.
- jgilias 5mo agoI agree, yeah

- nananana9 5mo agoMany people care, with good reason. We learned to notice LLM-isms is because they are, in fact, a very strong predictor that a piece of text is in fact garbage that's not worth your time reading. I usually stop reading at the first LLM-ism, but I found the premise of this post interesting enough to keep going - and guess what, the entire article was literally just "I prompt CC to make software tailored for me" blown out to 8 sections.
- wiseowise 5mo ago> Who cares? The parent comment does. Why do you care that they care?
- boomlinde 5mo agoThat no one cared enough to write it is usually a good indication that I should not care to read it either.
- lionkor 5mo ago> Who cares? I care, because it landed on the front-page of a website that I thought was about engineering and hacking, not prompting a no-code tool and spending 400 bucks on it, to get something nobody else wants.
- lpcvoid 5mo ago>But the incessant “AI was used here, thus is it garbage” is long past time to enter the grave. Nah, that rule is more relevant and true now than it was a year ago.
- geir_isene 5mo agoOP did this: Prompted CC for all the points I wanted included (something like a 200 word prompt) and asked CC to draft it, including all the links added to the table I furnished. Then I edited the draft (about 50% then edited). Then asked CC to spellcheck and fixed the 5 it found.
- gbgarbeb 5mo agoThank you. It would have been nice to see you personalize the hook and show your storytelling voice the way you personalized your computer in the story, but we aren't all poets.
