alt Hacker NewsMore LLM-generated text about LLMs.
Is anyone else actually finding it harder and harder to read LLM generated text? I find it quite tiring, my brain just does not want to get through it.

the biggest giveway is actually not the writing style, but the content
"using GPT-4o-mini for query rewriting" -> model from 2024, when RAG was trendy, and all the langchain, llama-index, etc, docs mentioned this specific model
"This is where the real trade-off lives – not cost, but speed."
That is where I stopped
It’s largely because LLMs are reaching for many different types of adjectives or verbs in the same sentence, in a jarring way. While embedding it in a confidently declarative sentence. Everything sounds like some profound insight, dialed to an 11, but written as poetry. Especially those headings. With the short sentences.
Everything that is generate from a LLM is shit, I don't know why people continue using it. I'm waiting for this bubble to explode once for all so we can return doing things in the sane way.
In the same boat here.

Your brain is incredibly adept at pattern recognition; it doesn't focus on LLM-generated text for the same reason it doesn't stare at wallpaper.
We've all learnt that it's not really communication, and so can be dispensed with.
