>Setting aside...the LLM writing style
I don't want to set that aside either. Why is AI generated slop getting voted to the top of HN? If you can't be bothered to spend the time writing a blog post, why should I be bothered spending my time reading it? It's frankly a little bit insulting.
Normally the 1 sentence per para LinkedIn post for dummies writing style bugs me to no end, but for a technical article that's continually hopping between questions, results, code, and explanations, it fits really well and was a very easy article to skim and understand.
It's action thriller writing for something that's in reality is super dull (my question is loaded with outdated cliches, but would you be telling a girl you're trying to impress at a party about this problem you faced of trying to push some data over the network?). I had to skim over it, like watching a YouTube video at 2x so I don't start evaluating how obnoxious the narrator is.
>Don’t assume something you cannot prove.
Well it's an inherently unprovable accusation, so assumption will have to do. It reeks of LLM-ese in certain word choices, phrases, and structure, though. I thought it was quite clear.
>It was great writing
Err... no accounting for taste, I suppose.
Looked like typical medium.com slop but with a bit more technical detail. Not sure where you see greatness
You mean other than this being AI slop company, usage is monitoring AI slop output and author confirming blog is AI slop? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46372060
