nemo1618 | on: Migrating from Go to Rust
LLM writing tells are getting more subtle, but they still jump off the page for me, in particular the word "genuine:"

   "This is the area where Go genuinely shines, and it’s worth being precise about why"
   "the lack of GC pauses is a genuine selling point"
   "Humans are genuinely bad at reasoning about memory"
   "There are cases where the borrow checker is genuinely too strict"
tbc I don't think the article was fully AI-generated, just AI-assisted. If so, the author did a genuinely good job of it! No one else is commenting on it, so clearly it didn't detract much from the substance. It's just weird that this is becoming increasingly common, and increasingly hard to detect.

This is completely off topic now but, "it's worth being precise about ..." is a much stronger AI-ism than the usage of the word genuine.

I've noticed LLM writing over the past year has had an unusually high tendency to talk about surfaces and, in particular, substrates. I don't expect LLM generated text to be anything other than rich with clichés. I simply wish we would all demonstrate a better editorial hand so we weren't reading the same voice, over and over.
