Yeah even if the software is good there's just something sad about realizing you're reading AI generated text. Even if its proofread and factually correct it just comes across as cheap and low effort, moreso when the content gets duplicated in a pointless FAQ that just restates everything you just read
- aleksandrm 2mo ago>Even if its proofread and factually correct it just comes across as cheap and low effort How so?
- Anoian 2mo agoIt just feels hollow and cheap.
- karolist 2mo agoThe FAQ technique is LLM/SEO crumbs because people usually search for questions, if you have the exact likely question text that maps to user's search you're more likely to rank. It's unfortunate but it works, like open mouth YouTube thumbnails.
- ruszki 2mo agoIt’s still hollow and cheap. I closed those sites immediately even before LLMs. You need to pay me to waste my time, not the other way around. Even if that’s using your then not-so-free app.
- cpinto 2mo agoThat’s not feedback, just a non-constructive opinion. As someone else wrote above, if you’re so precious about it then help out the devs of the project and submit design PRs.
- asdfsa32 2mo agoThis is absurd. No one has an obligation to help anyone nor do they owe you any standard of help. Opinion on quality of output is constructive to the wise and an opportunity to scream "If you can do better than do it" for the small minded.
- ruszki 2mo agoHere is a constructive one then: delete it. It’s better for everyone. If I want to read AI slop about your open source code, I can ask LLMs directly. It’s cheaper for you, and everybody.
- Hendrikto 2mo agoIt indicates that the author likes to take shortcuts and avoid work.
- kennyadam 2mo agoThis is a pathetic take. 1) Life is short and shortcuts and avoiding work are not inherently the wrong path to take. 2) Is the code you've almost certainly had an LLM write for you in the past a sign that you have low moral character and let yourself down by taking shortcuts and avoiding work too?
- 6LLvveMx2koXfwn 2mo agoThe best devs I ever worked with are the ones that liked to 'take shortcuts and avoid work'.
- breezybottom 2mo agoMost productive isn't necessarily the same as "best".
- alex43578 2mo agoDoes he need to write his own HTML in notepad? Using any kind of template is a shortcut and avoiding work.
- layer8 2mo agoBecause it is cheap and low effort.
- dmos62 2mo ago> Comes across cheap Given this is open-source, have you considered contributing a more expensive-feeling landing page? Or, donating to finance the project?
- idle_zealot 2mo agoI would rather it feel dev-cheap than corpo-cheap. Throw your MD doc into a basic CSS reset/theme, with a github and download link.
- breezybottom 2mo agoLol that's a good one. AI slop is the least likely way to make me open my wallet.
