Even tech giants are putting out articles seemingly fully written by Claude.

The animated graphic labeled "Occam's razor, formalized" is bizarre. Is that really visualizing "Occam's razor, formalized"?

  • Ah, over-the-top larger-than-life LLM-isms, they are really funny when you see them in a company blog, but they are vomitive when it's your coworker copy-pasting it and insisting you on reading it.

Time to first detected slop in this article is <1s. Claudisms per paragraph is also very high.

Is it too much to ask from people to read their own article anymore?

If anyone read this at all, they would have had the ick, and would have fired off a prompt to get rid of the most popular AI slop tells...

  • What I really dislike is having to edit my own non-LLM assisted writing to make sure I'm not accidentally confused with AI.

    I caught myself writing "And that matters because..." in a HN comment but had to edit myself. Also miss uising emdashes.

    • These models are trained on human language, which belongs to us, we shouldn’t surrender it to them. Keep the em-dashes. IMO don’t overuse negative parallelisms though, they were always bad and lazy.
