I definitely use LLMs to help write things - but this is my draft!

Maybe I've been spending too much time reading the evals and I now sound like an LLM...

Either way, here I am - happy to answer any questions!

I guess it's that, and yes, much as they learned speech patterns from us, now we start to learn from them.

I play with local models a lot but also have limited time and the conciseness, polish and human indication in presentation has become a major quality indicator. I've wasted too much time with slop projects or people's LLM-induced delusions and now take a pretty strict line on what I'm willing to spend my time on. Even if this ends up with some false positives, there's just so much happening these days it doesn't really matter...

Best of luck with Forge!

I do not hold with the detractors. I've personally known people who write like this since before LLMs were a thing. I rarely use LLMs, and come from the days of "expert systems" and the tail end of when universities had hundreds of typewriters in a room.

So perhaps, that's my bias: towards a former reality.

I often find myself wondering at a random HN commenter's flaming of a post for being full of AI slop, when the accused reads like normalspeak to my half-old eyes.
