    Entire site is AI generated. Unfortunate.

    Surprisingly it was the UI that pinged off the detectors for me.

      Reminds me of the unfortunate book "Vibe Coding" by Steve Yegge, whom I otherwise enjoy. While it contained okay, if very light on actionable details, overview of the broad ideas behind LLM-assisted coding (how much of it was vibe coding, though?), much of it was co-written through the use of an LLM book editing pipeline, proudly advertised throughout the book. A treatise of otherwise one-tenth of the final length has been blown up into the size of a volume, not unlike a piece of meat is pumped with water to make it appear fattier.

      I just came back here to say that.

      Every time I see a title like this, I ask myself if I'm not being open enough, if my biases are interfering with any potential progress I could be making when it comes to utilising AI. Then I find out that the content is just more slop and it further solidifies my position on all of this. What a waste of energy. It really saddens me.

      For me it was the EM dashes in the copy.

    The author’s LinkedIn profile is also crafted by AI (and the person invented I guess). I’m asking myself if this is a joke, an experiment or a sort of a scam.

      I am not sure, why invented? Because of a AI enhanced profile picture? If it is AI slop, just flag it. But if it is AI assisted content and the creator is a real person wanting to build up reputation ... then I guess fine by me, if the content is fine. Is it?

      (does not look like that to me)

        why would it not be fine if the content is fine but it's fully AI generated? Just curious on why that would not be on with you

          As long as the content is fine, all is fine by me.

    You don't even need to read a single word in the article, the second the site opens you know its AI generated, it's that typically crappy white over shadowed rounded card look at that all LLM's seem to love.

    That site was generated by AI, wasnt it?

    This is AI vomit detected from the first glance. What's the point? LLM access is not exclusive
