Is Claude really this bad, though?
E.g. "The problem that never went away was async. Every framework, including ours, treated it as a condition that happened to it."
Async treated as a condition?
And a condition happens?
And on grammar, the second it is ... the framework??
I rather suspect this is second-order output. Writings of a brain rotted by "AI".
Shame, because enough of the message gets through the fog to tell me the whole message would be worth receiving. I wish the project every success.
- andrewingram 2mo agoThe article reads eerily like the Claude-authored drafts I did for some internal explanations of Relay’s design philosophy (it’s a GraphQL client I’ve been advocating for). I’m not one to make accusations of AI authorship, but it was a particularly striking impression with this one. I had to rewrite the drafts very heavily in my own voice in order for people to enjoy reading them —- not that I’m a great writer, but I am human and people tend to appreciate that.
- ryansolid 2mo agoHey want to see what AI generates when I ask it to talk about Solid 2.0. It's not that.

- andrewingram 2mo agoI probably wasn’t clear with my experience. I was trying to get Claude to present my ideas, with a lot of steering and refinement, but it always seemed to be plagued by Claudisms. Even after getting rid of most, it took me rewriting all the prose to get something which people felt comfortable reading. The published post reminded my of where I got to after several rounds of review and cleanup.
- ryansolid 2mo agoLike a cold. Sometimes people call an illness a condition. A condition that can happen to you. We have frameworks essentially living in a completely synchronous world--like a 2D plane--and they can't tell that there is another dimension out there except for when something inserts itself into its view out of nowhere. The protocol that we arrive at to deal with async is convoluted, because it is a state that is basically inflicted on the framework. That's what we sought to remedy.
- chrisjj 2mo agoAh. The medical meaning, for an analogy. I think 99% of readers will, like me, take the software meaning. I'm sure Claude would know that if left to its own knowledge base, so I presume it was prompted to go way outside its training, hence the wierd word salad.
