I closed the tab after seeing the AI hero image. Good to know I didn't miss anything.
replyYou did miss something. But the picture doesn’t help…why would you start an article with an image that telegraphs “low effort”?
replyReading the domain-name had the same effect for me.
replyYou discount people's blogs based on them having a non-western name? Maybe I've misunderstood your comment, but the domain is just their name.
replyI can't change my name, but happy to change the hero picture :))
replyI read this entire article and didn’t sniff AI, plus it had some good insights…?
replyFeels like a human-authored outline that was run through AI to make it into an article.
replyI've written this myself, Gemini 4 did a bit of editing:
reply> What follows is a cleaned-up version of notes I accumulated over the past year. Gemini 4 helped with the editing.
The image is made by an AI image generator on fal.ai. It's better I spare you all my design skills :)
Well it contains a typo, so it made a cock up.
replyMore than that, the AI disclaimer itself is a hallucination:
reply> Gemini 4 helped with the editing.
There is no Gemini 4, unless the author is writing from the future.
You are correct, my bad. I meant to write Gemma 4. I'll update.
replyAI image, though.
replyYes the article took a while to get going, but once it did it was thoughtful and well reasoned.
replyThank you very much for the kind words :)
