LLM-written article.
- ducttape12 4mo agoThat was my first thought. Ironic they don't want to read LLM responses in their searches but they expect us to read their LLM article about it.
- Arainach 4mo agoWhat do you believe your comment adds to the discussion about this article?
- D-Machine 4mo agoI'd prefer more proof / context than GP gave, but I personally find it very useful to see people making judgements about AI-assistance of articles. Almost no such articles are worth my time, and the more HN people saying it, the more I know not to click past the HN headline.
- roywiggins 4mo agoPangram agrees it's 100% LLM written.
- LocalH 4mo agoBut I'm sure you understand that AI-driven "AI detectors" have an error rate of probably 90%, right? I've heard of people taking old writings from 30 years ago, feeding it to an AI detector, and being told "this is AI"
- roywiggins 3mo agoPangram seems to be tuned to avoid false positives most of the time.
- tripdout 4mo agoI agree I run the risk of being wrong and could at least provide some evidence, but I think at the very least it can be one additional piece of information someone could use in their consumption of this content.
- Arainach 4mo agoIf you can't be bothered to write even one specific thing from the article content you object to, then your account might as well be a pre-LLM bot that just posts "first" or "LLM Content" which is somehow even lazier than an LLM blog post.
- thefifthsetpin 4mo agoSame as a NSFW tag. It's not about adding to the discussion; it's a very brief warning to users who don't want to see that kind of content, and its brevity makes it come at almost no cost to users who don't care about SFW/NSFW or AI/OC distinctions.
- LoganDark 4mo agoThe LLM-isms are a bit boring, but not necessarily a tell that the article as a whole is worthless. I read the full thing and pretty much agree.

- kopirgan 4mo agoHow did you know?!
- LocalH 4mo agoExplain your reasoning beyond "oh they used em dashes"
- tim333 4mo agoThere's a recognizable style to the overall piece. The subheadings for example "The summary is not the answer" and "The verification problem is real and it compounds" are typical being punchy but not really making much sense. Also consider >This is slower. That's real. It's more work. And it is, in practice, more accurate — because accuracy in information retrieval is a function of reading, not of being read to. The over punchy - It's this. It's that. It's the other - is typical or LLMs. The accuracy being a function of reading not being read to doesn't really make sense - with both normal results and AI you are reading. etc.
- LocalH 3mo agoBut is anything you said any more than heuristic?
