lahfir, I vouched your (currently still dead) comment because it was interesting to me.

I expect the reason it is dead is that it seems LLM-generated (you "quietly" launched it on github? Who says that?).

Also, your comment claims that the tool is cross-platform and implies that it works on Mac, Windows, and Linux, but the graphic on the github README says it only works on Mac.

It looks hybrid human/LLM at best, but definitely possible that it's mostly human, from someone who is earnestly learning how to use "pitch" language. I got the feeling that some parts, like the bullet points, maybe originated from AI-generated documentation/readme's.

My intuition tells me that it could have been AI-generated, but if that's the case then it was heavily edited by a human. I think anyone who went through it for that would have changed other things as well. That's why I suspect it's pseudo-artificial pitch "coded" human writing with some (mostly, lightly edited) copy/paste of AI bullet points.

Then again, I can't find snippets of this language in the repo, so maybe I'm losing my discernment as LLMs advance (as well as the humans who are learning how to use them).

Hey, thanks for the comment. Yes it's hybrid. AI wrote what I gave as an input. If it's better in articulating a message much better than me, why not use it, right?
I think this guy is using AI for pretty much everything - he says as much in his GH profile. In fact his photo bears a Gemini watermark, meaning that is AI too.
Wouldn't the opposite be true? That an llm would use well-known terms for general purpose writing. I think it's much more likely that a human would remember 'silent' launch, or 'stealth' launch, and use silent as a substitute.

I feel very strongly that comment wasn't AI generated.

Also, there's a bunch of normal comments that seem to be wrongfully flagged.

You'd think, and yet LLMs do in fact have a particular style, and lots of it is common across all LLMs.

Hi. Mac is GA. Windows and Linux are in the roadmap.
Why is Claude always pointing out or assuming what is done quietly?
