this was written with at least the help of ai- it’s still a good article and idk if i’m the only one who can tell or we’re beyond the point of needing or wanting or caring to point it out. idk

I was trying to ignore the classic tells of LLM writing, but I still find them irksome when reading an otherwise informative article. There is just too much fluff in the language

Yeah it’s seriously shady to not disclose it at the beginning of the piece.

It's also an ad. Also dk if I’m the only one who can tell or we’re beyond the point of needing or wanting or caring to point it out.

These bags are like $400-800 lol

I'd love to see a Saddleback Leather take on these.

Yes I'd happily buy one if it's quality matched the price and I'm sure in Japan it often does.

I have done some simple leather crafts, and I think the design clearly is suitable for building with rivets and full grain leather, if they do use that today then it'll be a spectacular product.

There are plenty on amazon japan for < 10000 yen (~$60?)

It drags on a bit and is rather verbose, which is what made me notice it was AI-assisted.

My favorite part is a bland photo every two sentences.

Possibly AI-generated too? I can't tell.

oh but we discussed this already https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47447800

>That’s not an accident; it was the point.

I stopped reading in anger at "That’s not an accident; it was the point."

It's pretty disrespectful imo -- it feels like the reader's time is worth less than the author's.

full slop indeed but at least the japanese emperor cited really existed
