The medium is the message, which is especially true when it exists as content-marketing for their anti-anti-scraping product for AI companies to use to improve their ability to emulate blogs, among other things.
Those are closer to real objective analysis. Much better than hand waving near LLMs and dismissing the content without articulating why. My guess is that a comment that directly says that doesn't get as much traction and depending on how straight-faced it was could be violating the guidelines on accusing someone of manipulating HN, etc.
Why's that bad? It's valuable to discuss whether a presentation should have been a blog post, a video, or a tech talk. The same logic applies to LLM text.
If people consistently describe LLM text as having low information density or irritating to read, perhaps there's something to it?
None of that is specific to the actual content. Might as well just say "I don't like it" which is also not objective analysis.
This article was about math functions, chrome, etc. If the author got something wrong, mention that, or if you don't like the pacing or how the content was divided into pieces, etc.
All of the issues with AI generated content can be explained further and in-depth because it has such a unique fingerprint in the pacing, verbosity, long-winded explanations, etc.. It also shows lack of effort. Just give me the prompt and the findings, I can write the article.
AI slop is a category and is categorically irritating to read, and not worth reading.
