Could HN start feeding submissions through Pangram so us human readers don't have to suffer with reading the nauseating AI-prose?

It reads fine to me. If it is AI, I'd like to know which one so I can use it too.

It reads okay to me too, yet Pangram says it's mixed - the "What a private key actually is" section is AI, so is 'Why "it cannot be contained"' and some others.

I think it's a hybrid text. The section about how elliptic curve keys work is particularly aggravating. Unfortunately it's also the only section that gave me new information.

It has parts that are human written and parts that are generated. I couldn't tell at first, but now seeing it in Pangram, it's kind of clear.

It was all written by me and then I had final pass/tweak with Claude.

So parts were generated... Unless you're saying Claude just went "lgtm, ship it"

Fair enough, call it a mix if you like. I'm happy to stand behind every claim in my post, and if something's wrong, tell me and I'll fix it.

I got the impression you did a very good job of writing it by yourself and adding claudisms just makes it feel less trustworthy and slightly grating.

Not calling you out or anything i just take don't understand what people think they're gaining when they add a dash of claudeslop to an otherwise well written article, it confuses me. You do you though

Count yourself lucky - compared to Claude's prose, this is fairly readable.
