The blog goes back to 2007.
replyEvery single post made prior to ChatGPT has a very strong irreverent sense of humour as well as specific Chinese-English phrases. If you speak to Chinese migrants/colleagues/suppliers you'll recognise it immediately:

Then magically, every single post after the invention of LLMs happens to be structured exactly like the dominant LLM style of the era:

Curious how he ignores evidence and instead replies to other comments to make ad-hominem attacks.
replyTrolls will troll, they don't care about truth or facts, just making noise and disrupting conversation.
replyYou mean me? I didn't have time to check all those links yet, though I appreciate the effort.
replyI, on the other hand, wouldn't support that because it's too often true that the submission is low value AI output.
replyIn that case, simply vote the submission down; that won't clutter the discussion for other forists who want to talk about the actual content. I think this is what the voting system is fundamentally for; we don't have to, and probably shouldn't, justify our votes aloud.
replyWhat actual content? It's AI slop.
replyHow do I know that you aren't a bot yourself?
replyMost people can easily tell the difference between useless bot crap (like the article), and genuine human comments (like the one you're replying to).
replyToo bad you and most HN commenters nowadays can't...
"This is slop." sounds like something that a fairly simple bot could paste in every thread, with slight verbal variations. Sorry, I don't see the genuine humanity there, and I doubt that any double-blind experiment could nowadays distinguish between 10-word drive-by comments written by humans vs. AI. That is nowhere enough material to analyze and tell apart.
