> Now, finally, I have an idea. It's gonna take 5000 words to get there, though, so if you don't have that kind of time, skip to the part about registries.
This article is full of LLMisms, which is to be expected but maybe it wouldn't be 5000 words and wouldn't need this disclaimer if they wrote it themselves
How is this a LLM output? A LLM can easily write out those 5000 words.
While I’m usually one to also get annoyed at uncurated slop, this doesn’t strike me in any way as LLM text, and likely something the author meant in earnest. I reads lot of LLM text. What part about it appeared generated to you?
From my perspective the piece was well structured, paced and thought through (and yes, a bit long)
The whole paragraph titled "Isn't this just Tidelift again?" is exactly how Claude describes something it is excited about.
The only llmism I sensed is the use of "load bearing". Im usually queasy after reading llm slop, and stop before the end. This didn't have that effect.
Maybe the llms are getting better, but either way, this article reads like a real hunan write the whole thing.
It felt like unedited, unstyled Claude output. e.g. "No, and the difference is the important bit."
This article feels like it was written by a human who has just read to much llm writing
Humans don't write things like: "Now, the popular way to tell this story is "the system is breaking," and I don't think that's right, and the distinction matters."
Before LLMs no load was ever borne
Stop whining about it, the constant whining is worse than the LLM prose
I don't know about you, but I personally really appreciate when people warn me in advance that something is going to be a waste of time.
"and I don't think that's right, and the distinction matters" Yeah right. lol
I for one always appreciate it. The comments help me judge whether I'm right or wrong in my own opinion.
It's really not, actually. Often I read the comments before the article and getting a head's up that the article is slop is invaluable.
It's not only not 'worse than the LLM prose', it's a community service!
