getting tired of these blog posts that end with "this post is AI-generated" as if it's going to surprise us. it's getting repetitive. imo, articles should be prefaced if they're ai generated or not to make the reader not feel stupid after reading the whole thing

with that said, i love the content! will be bookmarking for future reference

Hi, OP here. My intention wasn't to "gotcha" anyone by mentioning that in the end, it was simply to be upfront. Many blog posts/content put out these days are obviously 100% AI-generated, yet it's never being mentioned. This one was probably 80%/20% (I still did many manual edits).

Glad you overall liked it!

At the start of the article there's a very clear profile picture and name of the author: Jean Kaddour.

If you want to be upfront, you should mention at the start that it's written by AI instead of showing this fake author.

This would give people the choice on whether to read it.

Putting it at the end is just to give you plausible deniability. Clearly your intention is to present this as if it was written by this Mr. Kaddour, which is a lie.

EDIT: they removed the fake author in response to this comment

Ah, good catch! You seem to really assume the worst on our side, but fine, this is HN :)

The author was simply there because of the website template we used; by default, it wants you to specify an author so we did. I removed the author now, thanks for making me aware!

If you really have good intentions, you need to state clearly that it was written by AI at the top.

The place that you just removed the fake author from would be a good position I think, you could even put the logo of the AI you used where the profile picture was.

I feel like we’re living in strange times where your comment appears to be AI generated as well. You complain about the surprise at the end and then offer up a similar structural surprise in your reply.

Strange times indeed, given that I naturally write comments structured similarly to GP. Hell, I'm probably even more of an LLM with human face than GP, because I capitalize the first words in my sentences, exactly like ChatGPT does.
