do you have any evidence that the author used a LLM? focusing on the content, instead of the tooling used to write the content, leads to a lot more productive discussions

I promise you cannot tell LLM-generated content from non-LLM generated content. what you think you’re detecting is poor quality, which is orthogonal to the tooling used

Fair point, to be constructive here, LLMs seem to love lists and emphasizing random words / phrases with bold. Those two are everywhere. Not a smoking gun but enough to tune out.

I am not dismissing this as being slop and actually have no beef with using LLMs to write but yes, as you call out, I think it's just poorly written or perhaps I'm not the specific audience for this.

Sorry if this is bad energy, I appreciate the write up regardless.
