Trigger warning: AI content.

View on HN

If anyone is triggered by AI content they surely avoid HN

I love AI content. I hate content written by AI.

It's not serious. It shows that the author doesn't care about showing what he's up to.

He cares about making content to post on a blog.

And that's disrespectful to the reader.

I'm not an editorialist, I spend my time on the software side of things, but want a detailed technical journal of what happened to achieve the gains. Also why the github link is near the top of the intro which I wrote. I'm not trying to disrespect the reader, but the time of the user of the software. Appreciate your view. I've made adjustments.

I spend all day reading AI generated text in one form or other in my day job. When I come to unwind in HN I’m not interested of more of the same. Seeing “load-bearing”, “landing things”, “it’s not x, it’s y” makes me think of work. I honestly would rather read human text with typos and warts.

Load bearing is a funny one because before LLMs the only time I heard it was in the phrase 'load-bearing bug'.

It got a lot of use in comedy screenwriting. How many shows have you seen where someone says "don't touch that, that's a load-bearing [object that should never be load bearing]"

The fort episode of community springs to mind but there are plenty others

And my point is you'll find both on HN
