Claude was here.
- sebmellen 2mo agoI grind my teeth when I see it. It's so pervasive that I worry I'll pick up the same ticks by reading so much Claudeslop.
- micromacrofoot 2mo agoyou're absolutely right
- 0x20cowboy 2mo agoBut here’s the thing nobody tells you, it’s a repository not a spaceship. Not a pizza, not a cow, but an undeniable disco boot. Let’s delve into this.
- micromacrofoot 2mo agoThe analysis has come back and the result is clear — the smoking gun is the belt-and-suspenders.
- apitman 2mo agoI got hit with my first belt-and-suspenders by Kimi K3 this morning. I normally use GPT. Is that a Claude-ism?
- micromacrofoot 2mo agoYour observation is sharp. The honest answer: Yes.
- aitchnyu 2mo agoI got my first load-bearing in GLM 5.2 weeks back.
- rzzzt 2mo agoDo you want my honest, load-bearing opinion?
- marknutter 2mo agoSay the word and I'll build it.
- brailsafe 2mo agoThe word
- micromacrofoot 2mo agoLet me verify this claim properly rather than resting on the grep I ran.
- brailsafe 2mo agoLet me know you've got the full picture
- bitwize 2mo agoNow I've got the whole picture.
- UmYeahNo 2mo ago"I ran more than 100 experiments. Most didn’t work. A few got me here." And here.
- jddj 2mo agoI'm sure it was a chatgptism first, but I wouldn't accuse a western company of distillation. In all fairness, maybe it's just that they let some post-2022 recipe blogs get into the training runs around ~4.6-4.8 time
- andrehacker 2mo agoLet my karma burn for saying this: Maybe it is time to let this go man. These comments are really the new incarnation of "grammar policing". (1) They don't add anything of value, did the author use an LLM to fix his prose but no useless slop was added in the process: who cares ? Is the article useless slop: fine, downvote it to oblivion. (1) For those not old enough to remember that wonderful practice please use your nearest LLM to find out or, you know, visit a library and do your own research.
- woadwarrior01 2mo agoI'm not making any moral judgements based on it, merely observing it.
- rpdillon 2mo agoThe criticism is not that it's moralizing, but that it's boring.
- heyyeah 2mo ago100% agree. We're on Hacker News. We should be open to people who aren't native English speakers using LLMs to help them communicate their ideas and more importantly, cool projects without getting dragged for AI speak in the text.
- itsdesmond 2mo agoThe writing is made worse by a specific choice which the commentator identified. That’s actionable feedback.
- govping 2mo agohow is it made worse in this case?
- evilduck 2mo agoBecause it's a strong signal of AI slop. Why put in more work than the "author" did? If the author generated text that required no effort, and has no understanding of the contents of the material generated, and no self-awareness of their behavior and how the audience will receive it, it definitely doesn't warrant wasting a single second reading it. Now, granted, maybe they did review it, maybe they did understand it, maybe they did know how it would be received and merely made a mistake, but how are we to know? It quacks like a duck.
- gitpusher42 2mo agoI am not native, my English is far away from perfect. I am using LLMs for checking my texts or grammar. I always trying to edit it properly, but sometimes I missing parts like that because I don't really have this "language feeling" as natives. Apologies for this
- sebmellen 2mo agoFriendly feedback: write in your native language and use https://deepl.com https://deepl.com to translate. I am fluent in both German and English. I find Deepl does a much better job at capturing the direct translation of what I’m saying than using Claude/ChatGPT, etc. Results may very for your language… Very nice work! Sorry that the AI comments partially overshadowed it.
- gitpusher42 2mo agoThanks! Will try!
- apothegm 2mo agoOkay, I’m the first to get annoyed at LLM-ese. But language requires the ability to say that something is A and not B. There are certain phrasings of that that are painfully Claude-esque, but ffs the one you quoted is the type of thing an actual human being is just as likely to say.
- nsonha 2mo agoI don’t get why that construction is associated with Claude. I’ve never picked it up from reading Claude output. As a English-as-a-second-language speaker I’ve been using that formation long before llm and it has legitimate usage
- apothegm 2mo agoClaude has a specific version that typically starts with “it’s” or even more often “that’s”. It takes the construction “That’s not a bug. It’s a feature.” and applies it to absolutely everything.
- spopejoy 2mo agoIn a way, the AI-text-policing is a golden age. Allasudden, folks actually give a shit about style??? Before AI was there _ever_ comments on HN "bro, the semicolons ... I just can't"? Everyone's on high alert. Maybe writing will get better!
