I call out articles on here constantly and have gotten kind of tired of it. Well, very tired of it. I am in full agreement with this post.

I don't have any solutions though. Sometimes I don't call out an article - like the Hashline post today - because it genuinely contains some interesting content. There is no doubt in my mind that I would have greatly preferred the post if it was just whatever the author promoted the LLM with rather than the LLM output and would have better communicated their thoughts to me. But it also would have died on /new and I never would have seen it.

I think this is the crux of the issue. A hardline stance is incredibly hard to take but without it the overton window quickly shifts to allow more and more slop even in relatively AI-hostile communities.
