alt Hacker NewsI also had no idea this was LLM generated. After reading your comment, I had a similar emotional reaction.
Thinking deeper, it seems prudent that we tag submissions like this with a prefix. Example: "LLM: ". This would be similar to "Show HN: ". While we cannot control what the original sources choose to disclose, we can fill that gap ourselves.
My point: I agree with you: It is misleading that the blog post does not include a preface explaining it was written by an LLM (and ideally, the author's motivation to use an LLM). However, it is still a good blog post that has generated some thoughtful discussion on HN.

why can't the quality of the works stand on its own? Whether there's LLM generation or not should be irrelevant.
People don’t want to self-disclose their use of AI I’ve noticed, especially the ones that put the least effort into using it. So this will only work for a small portion of the AI content.
We really need to stop thinking that every AI assisted thing is bound to be slop. "Shit in Shit out" often Applies in reverse aswell.
For a while, people found solace in denial: "it's not good, it will never be good, and i will always be able to tell"
next stop will be to ask for some sort of regulation
