alt Hacker NewsThe whole post feels like it was edited/modified by ChatGPT; `What we opened — in English, not a changelog`, `Why it matters (no fluff):`, `We are big believers in notebooks — full stop` are patterns that always make me feel like an LLM wrote it (sentence followed by a marketing qualifier).
I really liked Deepnote the product when I last used it, but the post definitely feels off.

This is just the generic LinkedIn marketing prose

Well, you are probably right. Pasting the annoucement in gptzero yields this: 16% AI generated 84% Mixed 0% Human

"We are big believers in notebooks — full stop" could be more succinctly written as "We are big believers in notebooks."

I don't think an LLM wrote it; this has been their brand voice for a long time...
Been thinking about this lately because I find my writing style is a little bit like annoying slightly sycophantic overly-hyphenated-with-an-emdash-here-and-there LLMs. Since LLMs are trained on the Internet, wouldn't some portion of posts that fall in the middle of the "voice bell curve" always sound like LLMs and thus be open to this critique even when they are 100% human written?
