That's a distinction without a difference. Either way it produces the same slop.

The author may very well be working in Mandarin or something and asked it to create an english language explanation of the project. Then the LLM generated the text based on their request.

They could've written text in Mandarin and used an LLM (or any other translation tool) to translate it to English, which wouldn't have introduced the LLM writing style.

They didn't, so the reason isn't that English isn't their first language, it's that they didn't want to spend time writing text. In which case I don't understand how this is different from a native English speaker doing the same thing.

I've seen free tier Claude introduce LLM writing tells even when it's just prompted for translation. Gotta be careful with that.

Who cares? Even if it’s LLM generated (which is not 100% sure, I’m pretty sure I could have written this description with bold keywords myself), the text is dense and easy to read. Rejecting LLM output without even thinking about the content doesn’t make any sense.

You are replying to a comment which stated:

> the genai content on the website is just so distracting and such a bummer. It sticks out like sore thumb.

The comment is fair and accurate. The vacuous marketing speak is tedious, unpleasant and risks undermining the technology it makes a flailing attempt to describe.

Your non-native English speaker excuse is neither fair nor accurate since an AI translation of a human-written Mandarin language text does not introduce the style of writing being criticised.

Not every open source project requires a grandiose marketing site littered with manipulative, cloying language. Let the project speak for itself.

Sure, in your fallible opinion, just like everyone else’s. I don’t care what language the writer of the software speaks, and I don’t care whether ai wrote the descriptions. I got the point quickly and clearly. Are you serious? Bold words are scary, and we should put down the author of what would appear to be a great piece of open software? Wow, I thought App Store review sucked.

It doesn't matter. The site is fine.

Only significant change I would make is have the top navbar not be transparent with body content underlaid beneath it, which makes things hard to read when the page is scrolled. And move some of the links at the very bottom of page like 'github' into the top navbar.

So what? It has the information. It's free.
