A year ago I would have agreed but lately, when it comes to stuff linked off of HN, it's actually more likely to be clear and readable if it's AI written.

Is it more likely to be clear and reliable if it is AI-written, or are features associated (both directly and by correlation) with clear writing increasingly misperceived as “AI tells” because they are also favored in LLM training?
reply
I don't find the LLM written stuff very readable because after one too many "real"s or "The X Dilemma" my brain shuts off. It's not even voluntary, it just does that on its own.

The post is AI generated, the project is AI generated, the "real" website is AI generated, the "fake" website is AI generated.

It's slop all the way down.

I'll be honest I really did have slightly higher hopes for computer-touchers when it comes to retaining cognitive authority over machines.

Instead it seems like there's a solid core of people who have always wanted to outsource their brains entirely to machines, and have finally got their wish.

I'm old enough to remember when we joked about normies who were dumb enough to let computers think for them.
