Honestly... I think I've been reading too much AI content, because I 100% wrote that. I do use AI to help make outlines and gather thoughts. But the Article was written by me.
Stuff like this:
> Each one of these, on its own, is just a bug. Together, they’re a culture.
And the headings starting with "The"
AI seems to have adopted a style reminiscent of startup marketers circa 2020 - really simple, lots of one liner quips and far too much incredulity about minor things. Now we've come full circle!
I'm the first to say I'm not the best writer...
Or is this also true: "I don't change what a LLM writes so long as it doesn't seem like something I would write"
It's just like vibe coding it's the new normal. We don't notice our own unique voices when writing. But as a collective we do notice LLM voices.
Submissions are different than comments in HN rules - don't worry about it.
>Not just sell. Not just ship. Use.
>The honest read ... The hopeful read ...
>The grumbling isn’t about features. It’s about the texture of using the products.
>Yes, Apple Silicon is incredible. Yes, the Watch saved lives. Yes, the iPhone got better cameras
There's also bizarre not-quite-landing uncanny metaphors that LLMs love to do:
>Today's Apple ships friction and treats it like background radiation.
>The texture changed.
>And the rot follows that exact line.
If you're surrounded by this kind of writing, it may be good to get other inspirations. It's bad!
I enjoyed your article and shared it on my family-geek-whatsapp group

I don't mind either way, but reading through the Tim Cook one without opening the comments on HN, I was 99.9% sure I'm reading AI.
