I think it is great that people point out LLM generated articles here on HN. Sadly, it feels like I am slowly loosing my skill to identify LLM speak. Maybe I am getting worn out of all LLM content... So, please, list the indicators and telltale signs from the specific article or blog post (like others have done here already). At least I would appreciate it a lot.

These were a couple sentences that were immediate flags to me. There've been countless articles written on this (I can dig them up if you want), but IMO there are pretty clear semantic rhythms you start to notice.

It is not foo, it is bar. You can zip, you cannot zap.

Straight quotes were my first clue, followed by “it’s not this it’s that” and subheads.

Straight quotes? I thought an LLMs thing was always using the curly ones?

The multiple uses of "it's worth X" made me question the authorship, for one
