How is this highly upvoted and on the front page? It's so clearly at least 50% AI written slop, probably closer to 95%. Wow HN these days... this site is dying, completely overrun by bots.

I acknowledge it is a skill issue, but I can barely tell. Do you use a checklist to determine if something has been written by an LLM?

[gas9S9zw3P9c]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signs_of_AI_writing is a good starting point. You start seeing patterns at some point.

But more important than the writing style, there is no interesting content here. It's all generic statements and platitudes with a bunch of generated links.

I use a ML model i trained off of AI and human text, it flags mostly as Claude. The article even references claude.

Unfortunately it is seemingly being overran by bots. What's the solution? Just read curated lists of blogs directly?

[gas9S9zw3P9c]

I don't know either what the solution is other than human verification, but nobody wants that. Perhaps the times of semi-anonymous online communities are over and the best you can do now is follow real people you trust that can filter content for you.

Even with human verification, people are going to verify, then conduct bot activity. And worse, use other people's identities to verify, then spam.

Because it contains information. Content > form, this is one of the cornerstones of hacker culture actually.
