As much as I disagree with the general consensus that the article follows of "delegating non-automatable work that requires thinking and understanding to the machine because it is boring, even though the machine is unreliable", according to Pangram this does seem human-written (confidence low).
AI detectors are criticized but classifying stuff into two boxes is probably one of the stuff that is the easiest to measure the accuracy of (as long as one does not put the test set in the training set...).
(well one could see the irony of using ML to detect ML text while complaining about people not caring about understanding anymore, but that's one case where the machine is more reliable than the human)
Hmm, if you read his previous blog posts pre-ai the tone is not much different. I hate the idea that this dude may just sound like AI at this point by accident.
Everyone here is taking my comment as saying the blog post was written by AI, and that’s wrong. The author says he uses AI to write commit messages and code comments. Those are what I’m saying are not worth my time or effort to read.
It somewhat boggles my mind that there are an incredible number of persistent, useless, and annoying comments on here every day accusing any and every article of being AI slop.
AI is a machine that generates content that is supposed to be statistically identical to the content that it was trained on, and it's trained on the content posted here.
The content here will look like AI generated content, and the AI generated content will look like the content here. By fucking definition.

Instead we get a bunch of pseudo-intellectual, hokey about how "my AI radar is perfect!" and "I can always spot it because of [insert bullshit about detecting style that's semantically the same as the pre-existing stuff]".
It's just... exhausting.
Yes - there is a lot of AI content on here. Just like there were a bunch of (and still are) under whelming marketing articles on here. Just like there's STILL a bunch of interesting and engaging articles (some of them even written by AI!).
Just vote based on the content and move on with your lives.
People out here wasting time and energy on trying to burn witches. If you want a "sure-fire" AI free experience... Go talk to a real person, in person. Otherwise...
