The landing page reads like it was written with an LLM.

Somehow this makes me immediately not care about the project; I expect it to be incomplete vibe-coded filler somehow.

Odd what a strong reaction it invokes already. Like: if the author couldn’t be bothered to write this, why waste time reading it? Not sure I support that, but that’s the feeling.

I am very concerned about the long term effects of people developing the habit of mistrusting things just because they’re written in coherent English and longer than a tweet. (Which seems to be the criterion for “sounds like an LLM wrote it”.)

  • Haha. This is so true. I'm a bit long-winded myself and once got accused of being AI on here. I just don't communicate like Gen Alpha. I read their site and nothing jumped out as AI although it's possible they used it to streamline what they initially wrote.

  • Wait until the bot herders realize you can create engagement by having a bot complain about texts being LLM-like.

What's odd is how certain people seem to be about their intuition about what is and isn't written by an LLM.
