Their comments are full of "it's not x, it's y" over and over. Short pithy sentences. I'm quite confident it's AI written, maybe with a more detailed prompt than the average

I guess this is the end of the human internet

To give them the benefit of the doubt, people who talk to AI too much probably start mimicking its style.

yea, i was suspicious by the second paragraph but was sure once i got to "that’s not engineering, it’s cosplay"

  • It's also the wording. The weird phrases

    "Glorified Google search with worse footnotes" what on earth does that mean?

    AI has a distinct feel to it

    • And with enough motivated reasoning, you can find AI vibes in almost every comment you don’t agree with.

      For better or worse, I think we might have to settle on “human-written until proven otherwise”, if we don’t want to throw “assume positive intent” out the window entirely on this site.

    • Dude is swearing up and down that they came up with the text on their own. I agree with you though, it reeks of LLMs. The only alternative explanation is that they use LLMs so much that they’ve copied the writing style.

  • I've had that exact phrase pop up from an LLM when I asked it for a more negative code review
