alt Hacker NewsThis post is written with its intellectual fly open. I'm not sure whether it was partly AI-generated, or whether the author has spent so much time ingesting AI-generated content that the tells have rubbed off, but this article has:
- Strange paragraph-lists with bolded first words. e.g. "The Cash Flow Mystery"
- The 'It's not just X; it's Y' meme: "Buying Groq wouldn't just [...], it could give them a chip that is actually [...]. It’s a supply chain hedge."
Tells like:
- "My personal read? NVIDIA is [...]"
- "[...]. Now I'm looking at Groq, [...]"
However, even if these parts were AI generated, it's simultaneously riddled with typos and weird phrases:
- "it looks like they are squeezing each other [sic] balls."
- Stylization of OpenAI as 'Openai'.
Not sure what to make of this low-quality prose.
Even if the conclusion is broadly correct, that doesn't mean the reasoning used to get there is consistent.
I do, at least, appreciate that the author was honest up-front with respect to use of Gemini and other AI tools.
Final grade: D+.

This is the conclusion of a reply that focused entirely on critiquing OP's style/AI use instead of their reasoning? Ironic.
In other post: https://philippeoger.com/pages/why-googles-tpu-could-beat-nv... in the paragraph: "What This Means for the Future NVIDIA is not standing still; its Q3 Fiscal 2026 earnings were a record \$57.0 billion in revenue, with Data Center revenue hitting \$51.2 billion. But the growing adoption of TPUs introduces a long-term risk to NVIDIA's core business model." they write about 2026 as if it already was. Could be a human typo or AI mistake.
Why use a throwaway account if posting an honest critique?
I think you're looking too deeply at this. It's generally well written. I feel like you could take almost any sentence and say "look like AI" if you squint hard enough.
Regardless of it is was fully or partially written by AI, do you agree with the main points? Do you disagree?
I'm also unsure why they took a sudden tangent from the topic at hand to suggesting Oracle should buy groq. It's like two separate half-baked blog posts merged into one with no real segue or conclusion as to why that sudden hard-left was relevant or meaningful.
I pasted two paragraphs in GPTZero and got the following results: 19% AI, 65% mix of human and AI and remaining 16% human. As I wasn't logged in, I did not get other details.
Is it possible the writer's first language is not English? ... and they used LLMs to help them with a few paragraphs?
Deep dive this is not, and it certainly wasn't worthy of being upvoted on hn..
HN is full of know-little blogspam, although rarely does it get top top like this one did.
I am laughing really hard. That first sentence of "Final Thoughts" is amazing.
the inconsistent capitalization, the odd punctuation, and the grammar mistakes. Love it.
I want this article to stay on the front page because it is hilarious.
It does amuse me when you have great, clean writing in some parts of a post, but then you have a sentence like
> As we head into 2026, when looking at Nvidia, openai and Oracle dynamics, it looks like they are squeezing each other balls.
Yeah I don't think there's a snowball's chance in heck that an LLM wrote that one, lol. My best guess is that the author combed over some of their prose with an LLM, but not all.
