Is this some sort of performance art? It's an article that criticizes AI that's evidently largely written by an LLM and illustrated with AI-generated images.

Honestly, the idea and concept had me in the beginning but the AI generated images were the nail in the coffin for me, what is the point of articles like this

The point is to get clicks and make ad money

Providing any value to the readers is way down the list of priorities

How can you tell it’s written by an LLM?

I just assume that if the image is AI then the body is too.

Slop language from LLMs (which haven't been fixed with the antislop sampler: https://github.com/sam-paech/antislop-sampler) is extremely obvious to those who use LLMs a lot. Overrepresentation of words from these lists is an example of the tells.

Honestly I was fooled, but looking closer, it is all suspicious and I agree. For example the author's other posts, and the relatively canned nature of each post with a clear thesis put into a prompt. The framing and language I guess was how you caught it.

I guess we won't care eventually as a society but I admit this all makes me uncomfortable, as someone that fell in love with the internet as a communication tool.

I really can't wait when reality flips and it's socially acceptable to save on my 45€ monthly internet fee and live offline again, exciting times we're heading towards

Suggesting that „fast-food revolution” was inadequate solution to global hunger might be a tell.

That's probably the most human aspect of the article.
