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.
