> Consider English might not be the author's first language
This is clearly LLM-written text, not something that the author asked an LLM to translate from a different language. Not sure how the author's first language is relevant.
- walrus01 2mo agoThe author may very well be working in Mandarin or something and asked it to create an english language explanation of the project. Then the LLM generated the text based on their request.
- flexagoon 2mo agoThey could've written text in Mandarin and used an LLM (or any other translation tool) to translate it to English, which wouldn't have introduced the LLM writing style. They didn't, so the reason isn't that English isn't their first language, it's that they didn't want to spend time writing text. In which case I don't understand how this is different from a native English speaker doing the same thing.
- kennyadam 2mo agoIt doesn't matter. The site is fine.
- walrus01 2mo agoOnly significant change I would make is have the top navbar not be transparent with body content underlaid beneath it, which makes things hard to read when the page is scrolled. And move some of the links at the very bottom of page like 'github' into the top navbar.
- asdfsa32 2mo agoEverything is fine for a standard low enough. This is the crux of the issue with LLM work, it is poor quality and shifts the burden of mental work to the consumer rather than the producer, while the producer attempts to extract credit for the work.
- thiht 2mo agoWho cares? Even if it’s LLM generated (which is not 100% sure, I’m pretty sure I could have written this description with bold keywords myself), the text is dense and easy to read. Rejecting LLM output without even thinking about the content doesn’t make any sense.
- bbg2401 2mo agoYou are replying to a comment which stated: > the genai content on the website is just so distracting and such a bummer. It sticks out like sore thumb. The comment is fair and accurate. The vacuous marketing speak is tedious, unpleasant and risks undermining the technology it makes a flailing attempt to describe. Your non-native English speaker excuse is neither fair nor accurate since an AI translation of a human-written Mandarin language text does not introduce the style of writing being criticised. Not every open source project requires a grandiose marketing site littered with manipulative, cloying language. Let the project speak for itself.

- thiht 2mo ago> The comment is fair and accurate. The vacuous marketing speak is tedious, unpleasant I don’t agree at all. The text and illustrations are straight to the point. I just took the time to read the page fully and honestly every word is useful to me. I’m interested in this tool because Logi Options+ sucks, and it clears out every question I have for a replacement. I know what features it offers, what devices it’s compatible with, what it looks like, how to install it, even how it uses the network (update checker disabled by default is a nice touch) I fail to see how this isn’t the perfect website for an open source productivity tool

- FireInsight 2mo agoI've seen free tier Claude introduce LLM writing tells even when it's just prompted for translation. Gotta be careful with that.
- juggle-anyhow 2mo agoSo what? It has the information. It's free.
- eklavya 2mo agoThat would imply that the complainer has nothing useful to add to the discussion, whereas just saying that the website is probably ai generated and off putting to them is valuable info about the project.
- breezybottom 2mo agoThat's a distinction without a difference. Either way it produces the same slop.
