I'm starting to think that a way we can easily filter what's being heavily composed by (SOTA/mainstream) LLMs or not is by how "polite" the public sees their published blog post.

If everyone sees the post as "polite", most of it probably been written by LLMs, as they remove anything that could be seen as "nonpolite" and human. Meanwhile, engineers who just want to publish their own thoughts and feelings on a subject, will be filled with stuff the public sees as "nonpolite", and since those hard edges weren't trimmed before the publishing, we can then assume this is actually a genuine person's thoughts and feelings.

Polite but misleading in a way that makes zig look bad. So of course the response is sour.

IMO if Jarred wasn't literally working for Anthropic and using their tools to do the rewrite, the whole thing would've been much more well received. Imagine if he'd used Sol to do it (while working for Anthropic – impossible of course), or GLM 5.2, etc.

Instead, since he does work for Anthropic, it just looks like a big marketing gimmick that was going to be done whether it was the right thing to do or not.

Yea, but he was the one who started Twitter war on Zig. He framed Zig is bad because zig wouldn't accept my slop PR etc...
