alt Hacker NewsI really love AI for lots of things, but, when I'm reading a post, the AI aesthetic has started to grate. I read articles and they all have the same "LLM" aesthetic, and I feel like I'm reading posts written by the same person.
Sure, the information is all there, but the style just puts me off reading it. I really don't like how few authors have a voice any more, even if that voice is full of typos and grammatical errors.

what's crazy to me is that it's literally a sentence in your prompt to make it change the style, but i guess some people are not bothered by it
My brain kinda shuts off when I read this stuff because I know it's more of a "text shaped object" than actual text. I find LLM text to be too fluffy and information sparse much of the time so I subconsciously start skimming it more than actually reading it.
What sections where you most off put by?
I used Claude to expand on my ideas for a few of the purely informational things, and for formatting, but this article is largely written by hand.
For example "Interface tests are the ability to know what's wrong and explaining it." is in hindsight a confusing sentence. Many such cases.
