Damn even Nvidia is putting out fully Claude-written articles.
- bayindirh 16d agoThat's actually a magnificent observation. This is not only an indication of a keen eye, but a trained brilliant mind as well.
- hitekker 16d agoYou’re absolutely right!
- jubilanti 16d agoOne might even say it is load-bearing on the seam!
- lioeters 16d agoWhy this is important: it's the honest take.
- pbkompasz 16d agoI hate this
- bayindirh 16d agoGenuinely, why?
- efilife 16d agothis is literally a reddit comment chain
- bayindirh 16d agoWe do this wicked sin called having fun once in a blue moon here. Slashdot's spirit shall live somewhere, no? Rent is all-time high and it can only afford here, for now.

- manyatoms 16d agonot to worry, they have an 'AI generated summary' box too
- greenavocado 16d agoIts a recursive summarization pyramid
- pizzafeelsright 16d agoThis thread flags an honest assessment of AI signal detection.
- smallmancontrov 16d agoIt gets fun when someone uses an uncensored model to bypass a refusal, but they accidentally pick one that was trained for erotic writing and brings its particular talent to the documentation task.
- mahboi 16d agoThanks, saved me a few minutes
- keybrd-intrrpt 16d ago> even Nvidia Why "even Nvidia"? They are fully behind using AI for basically everything. What's next? "Damn, even McDonald's is putting out unhealthy food"
- deleted 16d ago[deleted]
- jchw 16d agoSure, but even Anthropic doesn't appear to use Claude for blog posts. (I don't think anyone should. The prose stinks.)
- keybrd-intrrpt 16d agoAnthropic _absolutely_ does They are just better at hiding it or configuring Claude. I have several skills that reformat text to remove AI-speak tells.
- jchw 16d agoProve it.
- WD-42 16d agohttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49249269 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49249269 I put the "humanized" output through Pangram and it still comes out as 100% AI generated.
- breezybottom 16d agoThat's about as useful as saying you asked the magical sky fairy.
- jchw 16d agoI think you can't trust Pangram in a high stakes situation, but it is absolutely better than random noise at detecting AI-generated text. Which isn't surprising. If the distribution of probabilities can yield blatant Claudisms, it's not surprising it would also have more subtle deviations. (Addendum: As I recall, LLM-generated outputs roughly follow Zipf's law, but the distribution still tends to have some subtle distinctions vs human text; pretty interesting, but I don't know where I heard this, so nothing to cite. Sorry.)
- daemonologist 16d agoI get the impression that Nvidia employees don't care too much - I started seeing fully AI-written "documentation" on some of their smaller projects more than a year ago (i.e., before it was even slightly a good idea).
- DonsDiscountGas 16d agoPeople never really read documentation before. Agents do read it now, and they seem to understand LLM-written text just fine.
- WD-42 16d ago> People never really read documentation before. The heck you talking about? How do you think we wrote software for the last 50 years?
- Barrin92 16d agowhen you start to internalize that these kinds of statements are an indication of how the average developer of the last 10-15 years operated the adoption rate of AI makes a lot more sense
- WD-42 16d agoThis is extremely depressing, I think I'm coming around to the realization that you may be right and I've been naive my entire career.
- californical 16d agoYeah lol it’s basically the only reliable way to know how things work. Pre-AI, I read documentation for libraries that I used almost every day. And now with AI I’m using it to fact check Claude. And still reading it for myself to understand why other peoples code is written a certain way. It’s basically the most important thing to reference when coding. Sure today Claude can just read the library code and tell you what a function does or how to do something. But it still won’t tell you why something is a certain way or won’t figure out specifically-designed usage patterns as reliably as the author telling you “this is an example of doing x”
- api 16d agoIs that your honest load bearing assessment you’re going to flag?
- written-beyond 16d agoI hadn't read the article and read this comment as though NVIDIA themselves were implying that this library was checked but not trusted by them since it was fully LLM generated.
- karim79 16d agoWhat are we for, I ask? What the hell are we now. Chatters to LLMs now? Is this our future? It really is starting to feel like it now.
- arcanemachiner 16d agoDude I am in slop fucking hell right now. There is still room for a human touch, without which the agents will lever us harder and faster into a world of incomprehensible garbage.
- karim79 16d agoI totally concur. I'm almost lost for words at this stage. I need me some land to grow vegetables on and that's about it. Maybe some chickens. Every single day brings more despair (and not the prosperity we were promised).
- sejje 16d agoI have land and chickens, and I'm really excited about the future & AI.
- freeopinion 16d agoGood luck with that. You will have to pry the water from the AI datacenters.

- fwlr 16d agoClaude, rewrite my graphics card in Rust. Make no mistakes.
- pyrophane 16d agoYeah. I think if the text is written for other machines, then by all means have an LLM generate it, but if it is intended for a human audience, have a human being write it. We are still much better at writing in a way that doesn't waste other people's time.
- jorl17 16d agoIt is the number 1 thing I cannot stand with Claude slop. It's a sort of anthropomorphization of language. Every "thing" does, produces, feels, wants, asks, answers, etc.... - "Launch is checked" - "Question is asked" - "The implementation answers" - "The model wants" - "The results name" - "The connection surfaces" - "The prompt wires" - "The feature rides the mechanism" Every single fucking thing is alive, wants things, and does things. It's terrible. Infuriating. I want to rip my eyeballs out reading this filth. All. The. Time. "The anger is real".
- karim79 16d agoCreate any page with a file uploader. They all look the same now. It's like the Twitter Bootstrap days of responsive design. You'll get an icon which looks like ones on (on the drop space) those sites which are like "you must wait 60 seconds for this file to download". It's so horrible. The human element has been completely removed and replaced by..... mediocre.
- onion2k 16d agoThe human element has been completely removed and replaced by..... mediocre. No it hasn't. The human element is still there, prompting the LLM. The change is that the human is happily accepting the first thing they get rather than critically looking at it and seeing a problem.
- oblio 16d agoThe real problem is that the human is only seeing dollar signs.
- onion2k 16d agoI don't think it's that because I see a lot of this in businesses where the human isn't paying the bill, or is even aware of what the bill is. Humans are seeing either a shortcut to go faster (accepting low quality to move on immediately; reasonable if they're short on time) or a shortcut to lowering effort (accepting low quality because they don't care; not so reasonable but probably has a deeper root cause).
- latentsea 16d agoEven their writing skills are getting rusty.
- saadn92 16d agoit seems like that's the way the industry is headed
- pjmlp 16d agoAnother of those AI is bad for articles, great for coding. Plenty of us share the same opinion on doing reviews of AI generated code.
