Was curious, so I tried it in several different AI detectors to see what they returned.
Most seemed to believe it was approximately 2/3 AI generated text. Primarily the first several paragraphs. Last, and second to last scored the best as "human". ZeroGPT said it was only 5% likely AI written. Couple sentences.
Not sure if that means its actually AI written, cause there's lots of argument about false positives. Also, it's software. In many ways it seems like a lot of that field / genre produces articles and writers that then have a very "structured" writing style. Read a lot of HN. Write articles that place on HN. Tailor your writing style so it gets upvotes on HN.
It's very similar to the Youtube issues, and people making their intro, thumbnail, and splash screen before even considering article content much. Mr. Beast had a leaked article on the subject. Lots of SEO, Click-Thru-Rate, Average-View-Duration, ect... [1]
It was. You can compare to the author's first blog post, which doesn't have any of the classic LLM giveaways.
I suppose "coauthored" is a more charitable word though. This article wasn't as bad as most slop. I imagine the author passed it through Grammarly or something.
Once you have some experience, phrases like this are a dead giveaway: "and honestly? It’s incredible to watch". Also 30 em dashes in almost as few sentences.
>The real tragedy? Once you see it, you start writing that way too. You start thinking, "Well, maybe I should make this generic in case someone wants to use quaternions instead of matrices..." and suddenly, congratulations – you're building for someone who doesn't exist.
is awful similar to LLM writting. I can't put my finger on exactly where, but that the impression i got.
