Another AI slop article urging me to use AI on the orange AI fanboy site which has guidelines against AI slop comments, but AI slop submissions, that's just fine I reckon... Screenshot since the share button demands I have some social media login.
Hey, author here. My AI overlord advised me not to engage with this comment, but I don't like being told what to do.
I don't know what the reference to "orange AI fanboy site" is, sorry, but I do find it interesting that what I assume is an AI-writing-detection-site pegged it as 100% AI written. Obviously folks will believe what they believe, but just to satisfy myself I will state that I used AI (Claude Fable 5) to help with research by suggesting and then summarising articles, then interviewing me both as a supporter and detractor to really solidify my position (essentially arguing/debating with the AI), and then it suggested the post layout (funnily enough including that specific subheading "Why I actually care", which I will concede sounds AI-as-hell), but I then wrote everything else. I did paste in any quotes and specific numbers (which that section has quite a few of), and I did then do a final pass with AI (both Fable, and then ChatGPT) to pick up spelling, grammatical issues, formatting, etc. Anyway, have a good weekend and thanks for reading. :)
Genuinely funny how often I see both "HN is an AI hate site" and "HN is an AI fanboy site".
As dang said in one of these threads recently, opinions are just spilt on this!
I show dead and never see a dead fanboy. Just the critics.
I show dead and see both fanboys and critics all the time. Look at my comment history, I feel like I'm constantly arguing from the other side with people who are more fanboy than me and then other people who are more critic than me.
