I grind my teeth when I see it. It's so pervasive that I worry I'll pick up the same ticks by reading so much Claudeslop.

you're absolutely right

But here’s the thing nobody tells you, it’s a repository not a spaceship. Not a pizza, not a cow, but an undeniable disco boot. Let’s delve into this.

The analysis has come back and the result is clear — the smoking gun is the belt-and-suspenders.

I got hit with my first belt-and-suspenders by Kimi K3 this morning. I normally use GPT. Is that a Claude-ism?

Your observation is sharp. The honest answer: Yes.

Do you want my honest, load-bearing opinion?

I am not native, my English is far away from perfect. I am using LLMs for checking my texts or grammar. I always trying to edit it properly, but sometimes I missing parts like that because I don't really have this "language feeling" as natives. Apologies for this

"I ran more than 100 experiments. Most didn’t work. A few got me here."

And here.

Let my karma burn for saying this: Maybe it is time to let this go man. These comments are really the new incarnation of "grammar policing". (1)

They don't add anything of value, did the author use an LLM to fix his prose but no useless slop was added in the process: who cares ? Is the article useless slop: fine, downvote it to oblivion.

(1) For those not old enough to remember that wonderful practice please use your nearest LLM to find out or, you know, visit a library and do your own research.

Thank you! Text is not the main part of this repo. The main part is the technology and the list of experiments (and some useful knowledge I got from this project, haha). I have always been bad at writing or editing text (in both my native language and English), but without text it is impossible to share this project online.

Text was the last and most difficult part for me. It is not perfect (and this project is not perfect as well), but I believe it does the job of communicating my ideas

I'm not making any moral judgements based on it, merely observing it.
reply
The criticism is not that it's moralizing, but that it's boring.

The writing is made worse by a specific choice which the commentator identified. That’s actionable feedback.
reply
how is it made worse in this case?
reply
Why would you want to signal low effort for your writing and the related project?
reply
I am with you in principle.

There is 0 wrong with using AI to write a draft.

However catching the glaring LLMisms shows that the person did a pass and tried to edit the obvious LLMisms.

For me, unprocessed AI output is perfectly fine as the means to the end, but not as a final output.

You can’t downvote submissions on HN, only flag them. Identifying when text was written by LLMs is a useful signal. Maybe you don’t like these repeated comments, but I’d bet the people making them hate even more that they feel they wasted their time reading it.

I'm sure it was a chatgptism first, but I wouldn't accuse a western company of distillation.

In all fairness, maybe it's just that they let some post-2022 recipe blogs get into the training runs around ~4.6-4.8 time
