I think your hunch is very much spot on. It doesn’t look trustworthy at all.
- Aurornis 4mo agoThat’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.
- ekianjo 4mo agoAnd it seems to work! First page on HN
- bityard 4mo ago/r/selfhosted in particular has gone from a fun community of computing enthusiasts and developers having fun with their software and data on their own terms, to a literal self-promotion wasteland of AI-generated slop. (And I say this as someone who is not actually against the _intelligent_ use of LLMs for software development.)
- jwxz 4mo agoHilariously the commit says "delete marketingmd ai slop".
- bityard 4mo agoMan. 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.
