Oh God I'm tired of ai written thought pieces


I see this comment frequently in this site and it doesn't provide any value. If this isn't part of the hackernews rules, I hope it becomes one soon.


I don’t think LLMs would write this:

“Anyways, Redis homepage aside, you deploy it, and off you go - your trusty cache. You hand the connection string to the people who asked for it, and off you go.”


So many it's not X it's Y. It might have been polished, but it was claude


You do realize that actual humans use that formulation, right? I know Claude is fond of it, but it didn't just invent the practice ex nihilo.


there are only 2 and they don't seem to be AI-written


Or this:

“None of these things are impossible with Redis, it’s just that memcached’s architecture in general more leans towards these directions, which makes it much, much more straightforward from an operations point of view.”


It's become de rigueur on HN to accuse any article one thinks is trite, obvious, or simply disagreeable of being AI-written. ("That comment has three items in a list! No human would ever put three items in a list! Checkmate, bot!")


Somebody call Deckard.


I don't see how this is AI-written?
