alt Hacker NewsIt’s interesting how many of the descriptions have a distinct LLM-style voice. Even if you hadn’t posted how it was generated I would have immediately recognized many of the motifs and patterns as LLM writing style.
The visual style of linking phrases from one section to the next looks neat, but the connections don’t seem correct. There’s a link from “fictions” to “internal motives” near the top of the first link and several other links are not really obviously correct.

Well even the post itself reads to me as AI generated
The names & descriptions definitely have that distinct LLM flavour to them, regardless of which model I used. I decided to keep them, but as short as possible. In general, I find the recombination of human-written text to be the main interest.
There's two stages to the linking: first juxtaposing the excerpts, then finding and linking key phrases within them. I find the excerpts themselves often have interesting connections between them, but the key phrases can be a bit out there. The "fictions" to "internal motives" one does gel for me, given the theme of deceiving ourselves about our own motivations.
