It's not. I don't use LLMs to write for me.

I mainly use them as a thesaurus and proof reader, and occasionally let VS Code autocomplete finish a sentence for me when I'm writing longer form pieces.

That's a pretty hefty accusation to level at one of the most prolific Ai/LLM bloggers on HN lol

    If it's not an LLM, I guess the author spent too much time around them, because it totally reads like an LLM. And that's not a good thing.

      Which bits read like an LLM?

      I didn't do any "it's not X, it's Y" or other classic LLM tropes as far as I can tell.

        Might be the numbered list of short points that keyed OP. And it's actually a great communication style! So much so that they overtrained LLMs to produce them. I wonder if we're all going to have to get idiosyncratically slightly worse to avoid the suspicion in the future.
