alt Hacker NewsThere is apparently a marketing.md file that was deleted 25min ago with the strategy to post on HN. https://github.com/Andyyyy64/whichllm/commit/2cefaea1cc5d2de...
I think your hunch is very much spot on. It doesn’t look trustworthy at all.

Man. Every time I see a Reddit or HN post starting with "I got tired of..." I already know that it's going to be self-promoted AI slop.

Hilariously the commit says "delete marketingmd ai slop".
That’s amazing. Everyone has noticed all of the AI slop projects being posted to Show HN and r/localllama but this is the first time I’m seeing the AI text that is telling people to do this. I was naive enough to think these people had the idea to post the project on their own, but even the idea to post it is coming from the LLMs. Amazing.
EDIT: r/selfhosted is in there too. This explains why that subreddit is having such a problem with AI slop project spam.
