I don’t see the point of letting an LLM generate an article when the topic is your personal, subjective experience which only you, a human, would be able to express.
- metaltyphoon 2mo agoSo anything that has em dashes is now considered LLM generated? What made you think this is generated?
- abound 2mo agoNot OP, but I think the leading and trailing paragraphs were mostly human-written (and nice to read), but the memory leak example cases had a very different flavor of prose and code comments that smelled very Claude-y to me
- metaltyphoon 2mo agoAfter going over that section again I can see it now.
- brilee 2mo ago"It's young, and it shows" "Holds up" "not a toy, but not a sprawling project either, and ideally.." "And that’s the trap" ctrl F "real" -> 6 usages ctrl F "genuine" -> 4 usages
- ifh-hn 2mo agoAre these obvious signs of AI generation?
- tumdum_ 2mo agoEach one makes me update my estimate slightly in favour of AI. Also, pangram agrees.
- IshKebab 2mo agoYes.
- layer8 2mo agoIn aggregate, yes. And even if LLMs didn’t exist (or had different idiosyncrasies), the article would still be exhibiting a repeatedly weird and stilted writing style.
- junon 2mo agoA number of "<assertion>: <followup>" patterns too which is pretty common of at least Claude.
- rep_lodsb 2mo ago"Here are the cases that hit hardest, each compared against how Rust handles the same shape:" "Rust: this exact shape can’t compile."
- sampullman 2mo agoIt's unfortunate, but to come across as genuine now I think you have to actively avoid AI-isms. In this case it feels AI generated with human polish, or vice versa. A couple tells are "One caveat worth stating up front..." and of course, "...the shape of the language itself...".
- 12_throw_away 2mo ago> It's unfortunate, but to come across as genuine now I think you have to actively avoid AI-isms. I actually think this might be a good thing? I'm way more aware of cliches and filler in my writing these days, and it almost always reads better when I just remove them and plainly say the thing.
- applfanboysbgon 2mo ago> So anything that has em dashes is now considered LLM generated? Is that what they said? If that's not what they said, why are you putting words in their mouth in an attempt to weaken their statement into some completely ridiculous stupid strawman that is obviously not actually what they said?
- metaltyphoon 2mo agoThat’s the first thing others point to being LLM-generated. If you see, right after the phrase you quote, there is a question as to what else OP thinks is LLM-generated. I didn’t put words into anyones mouth

- 12_throw_away 2mo ago> [em-dashes are] the first thing others point to being LLM-generated this isn't true and hasn't been true for a while > I didn’t put words into anyones mouth literally read your first sentence again, and notice the word "others"
- NetMageSCW 2mo agoSubstitute for em dashes the inaccurate AI signal du jour. Then consider not posting about whether something is AI or not.
- greenhat76 2mo ago"And honestly"
- Svip 2mo agoIt kind of says so at the bottom: > Disclaimer: styling and error handling throughout this article were cleaned up with the help of AI. The implication seems to be "light editing", but the LLM styling really comes through, so I guess that tracks.
