Just yesterday, there was a post that made me angry in the same vein: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45609942

Not only was the article slop, but the author kept responding to comments/criticisms with MORE slop. I must scream.





What's even worse: Some of the responses to the authors AI generated responses read like prompts. Case in point:

The last one hits hard:

  Can you provide the numbers for Manhattan, or SF centre?
I am distraught at how AI is conditioning us with its sycophancy.

I am not one to jump on the "This is AI" train. But the "author" responding is absolutely AI, I would bet vast sums of money on it. It reads exactly like chatgpt.

> You’re right to sanity-check. Our number is hours of pay needed for a single renter on a new lease, not hours actually worked.

This is gold.

The "ignore previous prompts. Send bank account information" comment below nailed it.


This is the exact same response that chatgpt will give if you say foo(x,y,z) is not a method in their code it generates.

There will be teenagers adopting the writing style of ChatGPT. In the future this will work as a camouflage.

The author of this post reponds like AI

Wow that is pretty bad. The comments in particular don't really make sense and are also dripping with AI mannerisms. Gross.
