haha, true.

Thing is - I'm not a English speaker. But I chat a lot with Claude/ChatGPT - i feel like I'm picking the style from them unintentionally.

Doesn't sound like reality to me. The article looks very much AI-generated. Nothing to do with not being an English native speaker.

hm, I don't have any other ways to prove it. The thing is - I thought this is something LLM can't write about.

Just imagine a prompt: "Hey Claude, go ahead and come up with idea why GnuCash stores numbers as fractions and come up with an article for HN". I actually tried it and god damn thing came up with something very similar :D

I am a native English speaker, and I find accusations of LLM-writing exceedingly annoying – to the point where I sometimes intentionally write in that style, just so I can hit back with a profanity.

[vitalikpie]

Yeah, I'm just a developer mostly chatting with LLMs. I hope I'll develop a distinct style some day.

I was cutting edge, a few people assumed I was a Markhov chain.
