What is it with cool projects using LLMs to write their blog posts? If i'm honest I'd rather see it the other way around, tasteful agent coding with a genuine write-up. Reading AI blog posts make me vomit. Why even start a blog post if you can't be fucked to write?

Sorry, am I going crazy or the text is LLM generated? Is it intentional? Is it satire? Is it irony? Is it human generated but written as if it was written by Claude to be provocative?

There is something distinctly dystopian about someone using AI to write a blog post about how we sold out our taste to LLMs.

Having AI write your blog post and then talking about taste is a fascinating combination

It seems writing without being assisted by ai is the actual new status symbol

I was skimming through new posts on HN and this was the only one I read because "flagged" was enough of advertisement
