This is AI slop, as has been pointed out by several other commenters. Flagged.

side topic: why should AI slop be banned or eschewed when 80% of the articles on here are ABOUT AI? In other words, why is HN so keen on promoting the pseudo-science of making AI work, then recoil when presented the fruits of their own labor? Seems contradictory and elitist. Like trying to force the board of McD's to Mukbang 3+ happy meals each.
AI != slop. Just because I'm positive about AI doesn't mean I want to consume slop. I personally use AI for productive means, not to write and publish low-quality articles.
pushing slop is "productive means" for many people. they can sell the accounts/identities to election-manipulators or advertisers. bots age like fine wine.
So what? They can do whatever they want, that still doesn't mean we need to allow these posts.
That's fine. Ban AI research posts too.
