It's specifically against the guidelines to post LLM-generated comments here [1]. LLM-generated articles on 3rd-party sites, we're more lenient about because we can't always expect people to follow our guidelines on their own site, and sometimes the substance wins out even if an LLM is used to "polish" the writing. But you can see what happens when an article is posted that has obvious LLM-smell; the discussion ends up being much more about that than the article's content.

Most people are not "writers" but anyone can write their own story in their own words, and it's always much more charming than the output of a text-generation tool, especially when the topic is something you did for your pet :)

FWIW, the headings are still very Claude-speak, and it's somehow more off-putting to read Claude writing in 1st person than in its usual persona

I don't think you need to make it DLE exclusive. My dog gets fungal infections on his nose and this would probably help. Although TBH I haven't gone looking for solutions.

Wow, that is a great story! Really like how you used tech to treat a health issue. Keep up the good work!

I would be concerned about the lead in 3D prints. Even if you take proper precautions (which is very difficult because it's the material in the extruder and filament) they are not food safe and easily grow bacteria.

FWIW I read the whole article now, so can’t compare to before, but I never thought it was written using AI. Congrats on the product it’s really wonderful what you achieved.

Thanks - and congratulations. One question. What is this UV-sensitive filament, and does it really change color in both directions as quickly as the video shows?
