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
