I had to stop reading. I have become overly sensitive to LLMisms. This is definitely "ChatGPT, read this article and rewrite it in a casual tone" with little to no actual authorship. On HN we should try to get primary sources for this sort of thing.
replyI don't know why you are downvoted. The article is AI blogspam, it doesn't have any more factual information than eg https://www.darkreading.com/application-security/vercel-empl... and is full of empty LLMisms. It's depressing people are willing to read this.
replyI didn't notice till I saw this comment and now I'm also confident it's significantly AI written.
replyBecause a comment that just says it's AI generated provides no value to the readers. They could at least provide an alternative link like you did.
replyIt does provide value in that I know I shouldn't read it. It's clearly LLM written after a few glances.
replyThat article you linked to didn't mention that Context.ai, from where this mess originated, is a YCombinator company. Most probably its founders are on this very web-forum.

replyIt's absolutely LLM prose, though not all of it. Maybe the author rewrote parts.
replyThe thing that concerns me is that even at a site like HN, where a lot of people are very familiar with LLMs, it seems to be passing.
I hate to think this will become the norm but it's not the first HN linked post that's gotten a lot of earnest engagement despite being AI generated (or partly AI generated).
I'm very comfortable with AI generated code, if the humans involved are doing due diligence, but I really dislike the idea of LLM generated prose taking over more and more of the front page.
Of course it will be new normal. Even worse in few years you will be writing yourself AI-like prose cause of all of that AI written article and news that you read, will cause silently for you to adopt that style. In few more years barely anybody will be able to write coherent statements themselves without help of LLM :)
replyThe author’s site is on Vercel.
replySo I believe the author has exposure to the issue and interest in understanding it, that’s more than AI alone has got.
I thought the same. Normal people don’t write that way.
replySoon they will!
