Oh, I 100% acknowledge the site itself was LLM generated. I'm not a web designer, so I needed a lot of help making a visually appealing site, even if that design language is at this point LLM trope.

However, the essay and the guidelines were all human-written!

[thinkingemote]

by "human-written" do you mean you just used LLM to help the grammar and spelling and formatting and to think up some use cases but its entirely "my own words"?

Hits you in the first row of buttons with the classic gen-AI slop "Why It Matters".

So trace* through ninerealmlabs and ahgraber and sure enough:

  I used AI:
  - to help build this website.
  - to help generate examples of sloppypasta
    based on my original guidance
  - to proofread and review the human-written
    copy to provide a critical review
  - to improve my arguments and ensure clarity.

Kudos for being forthright.

I talked myself in circles on that "why it matters" heading but ultimately couldn't come up with a better one. "The problem" has similar ai-slop feel, and "the rant" // "the rules" didn't really evoke the feeling I wanted.

Happy to take suggestions on this!

No, not just that heading, but also the obsession with comparison tables.

I believe you, but the AI-looking website makes me default to thinking that the text itself is AI generated

It's not difficult to create a visually appealing website. You don't have to be a designer. Many of us here aren't designers and have beautiful sites. Have you tried doing it yourself?

You need to make it look more like Grugbrain dev: https://grugbrain.dev/

Authentic human brutalism =)

This entire post is very avant garde. AI slop about how it's rude to share AI slop posted on an AI slopsite. Very well done.

Credit to you for your candor!

I'm possibly too jaded / cynical already...

As an alternative to LLMs, you can just download ready made themes off the internet, or there's a bajillion site creators with premade themes.
