Whenever I get to a section that was clearly autogenerated by an LLM I lose interest in the entire article. Suddenly the entire thing is suspect and I feel like I’m wasting my time, since I’m lo lingering encountering the mind of another person, just interacting with a system.

I didn't see anything like that here. Yeah they used bullets.

There’s a section that says what the parts of a pc are, and what that part is.

> I used the AI-generated recommendations as a starting point, and refined the options with my own research.

Referring to this section?

I don't see a problem with that. This isn't an article about a design intended for 10,000 systems. Just one person's follow through on an interesting project. With disclosure of methodology.

Eh, yeah - the article starts off pretty specific but then gets into the weeds of stuff like how to put your PC together, which is far from novel information and certainly not on-topic in my opinion.

I sent the article link to my son because he does not have experience building or assembling hardware or installing or using Linux. Also took the author's ChatGPT prompt and changed it to ask about reusing two HPE ML150 Gen9 servers I picked up free. I think my son will benefit from the details in the article that many find off-topic.

That's totally fair! My personal experience with this was growing up in the aughts and building my first gaming PC from scratch. I associate that as being far more accessible than going all-in on an AI server. Of course in this instance, the two are effectively the same.
