When your Claude wrote this post they might not have selected the right URL to share, unless your home folder is exposed. Care to share the skill files?
- asenna 4mo agoOops! My bad. Fixing it now. And yeah, I can share the Skill file. Give me 5 mins.
- asenna 4mo agoOk I scrambled to finalize a name for it and create a new repo for it - https://github.com/Simbastack-hq/framedex https://github.com/Simbastack-hq/framedex PS - I just put this together in the last few mins, removed my personal files and references. So it's not tested properly, please let me know if any issues. It's still an early hack, but I have thousands of still images as well from my camera which I've not processed and I need to do the same analysis for those. So I'll continue working on it, but happy to receive any PRs if anyone finds any use for it. I'm tired of having a backlog of thousands of images and videos, leaving it for later.
- jaggederest 4mo agoHey friend, try something in this ballpark, your post has a bunch of painful AI tropes: https://github.com/blader/humanizer https://github.com/blader/humanizer You get a pass here because you're doing really cool stuff but it's kinda tough to read past the AI nonsense, and it's relatively easy to screen out "it's not x it's y" kind of things and the bolded bullet points.
- asenna 4mo agoThanks for this! This is exactly what I was looking for. Tbh, I have a lot of thoughts and ideas and things to share and I do spend time and effort trying to de-AI-ing it but this should help a lot. I'll try it out. In fact, I was expecting getting shit on by HN readers for this but was pleasantly surprised that readers moved past it.
- jaggederest 4mo agoYeah I think you'll find these days that there's a lot of respect for substance like what you're doing, even past the noise of the AI. I also use a lot of AI but you really have to demand quality from it, whether it's writing, media, or code. It's clear you've got the taste from your media work, and we're all still learning as we go, so I'm very glad that I could point you in that direction.
- refulgentis 4mo agoI'm curious: how, exactly, did it go from this is painful to read due to AI, to no one cares about AI use and you demanded quality when you used it and delivered?
- jaggederest 4mo agoIt didn't, it went from "this reeks from AI after edits, here's a tool that can help" to "people can read past it but there are better ways, you must demand quality". I don't think those two things are inconsistent.
- refulgentis 4mo agoAh, I see, after he uses the tool it'll be great because he has taste.
- jaggederest 4mo agoI don't think "if you iterate on this, try using some tools, and ultimately demand that the output meet or exceed your demonstrated taste in other domains" is a hot take, honestly.
- bonoboTP 4mo agoI don't dislike those tropes because they are frequent or because they are not pleasing to read intrinsically. I dislike them because it tells me it was made by AI and AI output varies strongly in quality and most of it is low on insight but rings the right bells to make it seem insightful. It indicates a lack of human care. Hiding these clues by another AI pass doesn't solve the core problem. Now you just end up with content that camouflaged better but is still equally low in nutritional value.
- cortesoft 4mo agoI feel like human copywriters have been using those same tricks for clickbait articles for years…
- nchmy 4mo agoHence I've hated them all since before Ai. But now I'm utterly repulsed by it
- squeaky-clean 4mo ago"My AI writing isn't slop. It's just as good as buzzfeed lists or celebrity gossip articles."
- dvfjsdhgfv 4mo agoSure, but the omniprevalence of LLMs just just crystallized these into clearly recognizable patterns. Just like cliches, but not being limited to simple phrases.
- Forgeties79 4mo agoI dislike them because I find they generally don’t give any useful information OR if the information is in fact useful, it could do it with a fraction of the words. Vigorous writing is concise.
- fenix1851 4mo agoit’s a different story. I was highly interested in reading this article from start to finish. Ofc there are was a lot of slop moments, but author experience itself is great! And i genuinely don’t care if he would share it through LLM article. Just please remove slop markers :)
- yellow_postit 4mo agoAs someone that naturally used a rule of 3 and em dashes I hate AI for taking that away from me.
- jaggederest 4mo agoAgreed, I find myself avoiding constructs I would use naturally because they read as AI - "not just because other people would judge them, but because I also notice and dislike them".
- whattheheckheck 4mo agoThis diminishes the llm performance by making it use random out of band non thinking tokens
- Zababa 4mo agoBtw I like your article, it does feel a bit AI generated but I think the problem and setting are interesting enough that it was a pleasant read.
- embedding-shape 4mo agoWe just got a modern example of the classic message from a friend who just picked up programming, containing: "I just created my own web app, wanna check it out? It's here: http://localhost:8080"
- m463 4mo agoreminds me of telling a friend: I hacked your system: file:///etc/passwd
- z2 4mo agoI've been getting this weekly from colleagues. It's very much an epidemic right now! And the port number is indeed almost always a random number between 8000 and 8100.
- a012 4mo agoWait until they discovered the port number could go over 9000
- dvfjsdhgfv 4mo ago> I've been getting this weekly from colleagues. It's very much an epidemic right now! And the port number is indeed almost always a random number between 8000 and 8100. Really? A bit hard to believe, unless you have many dumb colleagues.
