It's hilarious just how much of a witchhunt on AI is kicked off from a bunch of vague heuristics.

Writing this as someone who likes using em dash and now I have to watch that habit because everyone is obsessed with sniffing out AI.

Cliched writing is definitely bad. I guess I should be happy that we are smashing them one way or another.

View on HN

I don't want to take the time writing up a cogent response to an article someone didn't bother taking the time to write. With this particular article, there were a couple of points I wanted to respond to, before I realized there was no human mind behind them.

I've always liked the HN community because it facilitates an intelligent exchange of ideas. I've learned a lot trawling the comments on this site. I don't want to see the energy of human discourse being sucked up and wasted on the output of ChatGPT. Aggressively flagging this stuff is a sort of immune response for the community.

I wonder how it's different from when a collegue sends you an llm PR.

You get paid

And it's the employers problem, if you don't react too much emotionally

I have thought like this since the slop wave hit, but hadn't yet put it into words. Gratified to see someone else do it

It's not a witchhunt for AI. It's a witchhunt for bad writing.
