I too suffer from lack of interest in machine written posts. but the real sociological problem is because it is hard to tell the difference, disinterest turns into paranoia. And this hurts everyone.
However in this case, the article in question does not read like machine written, so perhaps the revulsion was just over the hyperbolic tone.
These people write like they picture themselves as sages describing the end times to scared children.
You complain about their writing style, no one forced you to read, which you could summarize with an AI if you even cared for the conent but no.
And i read A LOT and i do not come across this writing style at all.
On a site dedicated to commenting on articles? I think you have a misunderstanding of how HN works. People (hopefully) read the article and share uninformed^H informed opinions on the article.
That has always included critique of the way that the content is written.
In this case, very valid critique. I'm astounded you're somehow managing to read "A LOT" and not run into it regularly. At least we seem to be moving away from the absolutely awful "I'm a crazy frat bro" style of writing where it feels like half the action sentences should be appended with "because I'm crazy!" that was spreading far too far and wide (hopefully because it's hard to coax AI into that style.)
And its disrespectful to people who create proper content and do the work.
Nah.
