alt Hacker NewsSo this is how it is going to be? AI written everywhere?

Please write yourself.

Not the first time I've seen this, but this one really hit me for some reason.
I genuinely don't understand why someone would want to work like this. There's obviously no practical use in having a 26-year-old novelty webcam work at 5fps. What made it interesting was the process of figuring it out and writing it up, which others could then read and learn from.
Instead it looks like this 'author' just watched an LLM code it and write up for them, and published it unedited. What is anyone getting out of this completely soulless process?

I agree. For basically two or three short paragraphs too...
When I scroll through someone's personal blog and every single post is AI written I get that AI nausea/fatigue feeling.
Well, it makes sense that the author of the driver should write about it.
