It really reeeally throws up a wall of disinterest when I get halfway through a post and realize I'm reading LLMisms. There's something just so terribly grating about writing with so many forceful, punctuated prose mechanisms being used in high density without any connection to a human mind behind it.
Here's a quick example. The last para is: "Happy to be told a cell is wrong. That is the useful outcome." Yeah, I get what you're trying to make the robot say, but I'm pretty sure being corrected on one particular cell was not "the" teleological purpose of the entire proceeding thing.
All that happens is I resent having been subjected to yet another "Show HN" that's about showing off what you made a robot make. I can just make robots make things myself.
- scrollaway 22d agoI don’t think it’s necessarily the “I can also make a robot do that”. Things are useful regardless of who made them. It’s the lack of care that comes with the obvious tell that a comment such as the one above, is not genuine. Are you really “happy to be told a cell is wrong”? Did those things you say surprised you actually surprise you? Of course not; these are Claude patterns and they’re there because Claude has been taught to speak like this. So what is the point of the comment? Instead of a dozen paragraphs it could just be a brief summary and motivation. Instead it’s a copy paste of the pointless output of “Write a HN comment about this”. It does reflect badly on the project because if any care at all was involved in it (beyond a “I have a vague idea please make the thing” prompt), more care would have gone into the comment that goes with it…
