I don’t like the AI writing style anymore. It’s very readable and it has great words, but it’s lacking imperfections. Like a raytraced 3D render of mathematically perfect shapes.


I don't think this author uses LLMs. I follow them online and they hate generative AI.


I guess I don’t like their style then. My bad. Sorry about that.


I've misattributed a similar writing style to AI a couple times now, which I also feel bad about.

But yeah, this is essentially the writing style that LLMs are mimicking.


[How confident are you that this writer uses AI?](https://sightlessscribbles.com/posts/the-colonization-of-con...)


People forget that AI is trained on mediocre writing too, not everything a person writes is fire. Most of it is a mediocre, too long, and hard to understand; just like the outputs you get from LLMs.


Giving them a pass since he or she is blind. The text is also very large intentionally


I'm grateful for that. I never liked the hn default size even when my eyes were younger.


It's ironically kinda less accessible in total, though. Because my browser lets me zoom in on a page almost infinitely, but I can only zoom out enough to make this text go from insanely-big to uncomfortably-large.



It’s a neural network. You can see the macro pretending to be real aspects because our brain is neural too. Interesting, but not thinking.
