alt Hacker NewsI like how one of the reference links betrays how the article itself was researched, possibly written; HN hides the end of the url, which is "utm_source=chatgpt.com":

You have to appreciate the irony :)

The real disappointment is none of the sources are linked in the text. Instead, it's just random underlined words, the classic chatgpt over formatting with lots of extra underlining and bolding. I appreciate that a 10-15 minute long article summarizes a 25 minute video, but it's hard to hide the real author.
Quite lazily done and just not pleasant to read.

Would it be as ironic if one wrote an article about Google and used Google search to research their sources?

Quality of the writing and thought also reveals the construction method.
