Even some of his HN comments on this page feel AI-generated... for example I see one use of "You're absolutely right", one "You're right", and two "You are right". Meaningless phrases like "in true HN style". And space-filling excessive positivity like "Your comment is appreciated and heard. That’s the beauty of learning new things, you try, you stumble, and you learn from your mistakes."

Even the primary anecdote of the post simply doesn't seem realistic to me. Why would you ask an LLM whether a domain name idea is good or terrible? That's an entirely subjective opinion question with no right or wrong answer! And chatbots are widely known for being sycophantic anyway, so the response will just depend on how the question was framed.

OP, if you're actually writing this stuff entirely by hand, you've internalized AI writing style to a disturbing degree.
