Who cares? It’s their content. If they hired an editor to help them, cool. If the content doesn’t suit you, move on.

But the incessant “AI was used here, thus is it garbage” is long past time to enter the grave.

Many people care, with good reason. We learned to notice LLM-isms is because they are, in fact, a very strong predictor that a piece of text is in fact garbage that's not worth your time reading.

I usually stop reading at the first LLM-ism, but I found the premise of this post interesting enough to keep going - and guess what, the entire article was literally just "I prompt CC to make software tailored for me" blown out to 8 sections.

Nah, that rule is more relevant and true now than it was a year ago.

I care, because it landed on the front-page of a website that I thought was about engineering and hacking, not prompting a no-code tool and spending 400 bucks on it, to get something nobody else wants.

That no one cared enough to write it is usually a good indication that I should not care to read it either.

The parent comment does. Why do you care that they care?
