I hate that the LLM era has turned me into a detective every time I read a piece of writing but… this prose is very AI-speak, no?

- comboy 2mo agoPerhaps it's better to ponder whether or not it contains information useful to you / is a pleasure to read?
- carb 2mo agoAI-prose may be vetted, but there is no way for a reader to know that for certain as much AI-prose is not. As such, you cannot be sure if the writing contains correct and accurate information at all, even with modern models.
- comboy 2mo ago> you cannot be sure if the writing contains correct and accurate information at all how is that related to LLMs?
- carb 2mo agoDue to their past, LLMs need to prove themselves as correct and accurate. Bloggers have already gone through this gauntlet and have proven to be more likely to be correct and accurate. Neither are a guarantee.
- Aachen 2mo agoYeah, and there is no pleasure reading this. It's way too long and verbose for what it's trying to say. I'd much rather read the prompt, in bullet points or whatever format they were provided before inflating a few example pictures and notes into a short novel
- mhb 2mo agoHow is this criticism not just ad hominem slop? You could have said "It's way too long and verbose for what it's trying to say". The writer is orthogonal.
- throwawaysoxjje 2mo agoThe idea that the writer is orthogonal is WILD
- mhb 2mo agoBecause you think you're always going to be able to tell the difference between AI writing and human writing? That's WILD!
- appleappleapple 2mo agoMaybe I’m a Luddite but I find AI prose completely tiresome to read, and its presence in an article forces me to be skeptical about whatever the author wrote. The latter was obviously a problem pre-AI but these tools simply make it much easier to tell stories, narratives, etc. that aren’t yours.
- relevant_stats 2mo agoThe heavy usage of LLM writing as is the case here is a strong signal it doesn't and isn't. I won't waste my time on a person who didn't bother to express themselves.
- s3p 2mo agoYup, exactly what I noticed. And I do think the content is really cool but the writing, the section titles, the entire site design, it all reminds me of ai :( Not to say anything negative about the author though, im sure this took a long time to put together whether it was written with ai or not. But I definitely noticed those ai-isms
