Can't we even write a short text like this without LLMs anymore, not even when it's really important, when it's about humans against the inhumane?

I think it is great that people point out LLM generated articles here on HN. Sadly, it feels like I am slowly loosing my skill to identify LLM speak. Maybe I am getting worn out of all LLM content... So, please, list the indicators and telltale signs from the specific article or blog post (like others have done here already). At least I would appreciate it a lot.

it's wild to me how many AI written articles get front page on HN

It is upsetting. Is it worth surrendering one's practice of thinking and communicating effectively in order to resist corporate overreach? Or is such a neglect doomed to result in the very problem of passivity that this post pushes back against?

I think the trouble is the LLM is quite catchy and so gets more upvotes. We are losing to the clankers!

Exactly. I stopped reading part way through. The first thought was ... this seems like quite a lot of words to say not an awful lot of contents. And then the sentences started jumping out.

I also will not take any article or website seriously if it uses AI generated graphics/art.
