Why does AI have to explain everything three times - a headline, a standfirst and some intro blurb all saying what could be said in two words.

Read the github readme instead - much more to the point:

Still heavily AI contaminated. The random bold formatting is as good a tell as it gets.

It's high time that Github creates a disclosure flag for LLM usage - it's already mandated in the EU for some kinds of media.

Then GitHub will have to flag everyone. Take 100 professional developers today, and you can be sure all 100 use AI somewhere in their workflow.

Take a look at the codebase or just try it out, and make up your own mind

LOL ... Accurate ;)

A lot of time accessibility is about that extra effort one can't get with tight development budgets. I apply generous amounts of butter while I keep the thing dry and let it be otherwise accessible at the same time.

Is this a professional project you created on behalf of your employer or your own business for monetary gain?

Just because you are forced to use AI on the clock doesn't mean you have to for personal projects.

That’s like asking a lumberjack not to use his chainsaw to cut down a tree at home

Ok, stats to back up all 100% using AI please

A casual look around the office. Not a good representative selection for the entire population but counting to 10 and asking, everyone used ai in some fashion, extrapolate the data and you get 100%. (Not a ai first office even)

a dataset of 10 is merely anecdata

Are you challenging the op to run a massive poll just to satisfy the demands of a stranger in the comments?

Their claim doesn’t warrant proof. It’s pretty damn obvious that almost every one is tinkering with this at some level. Even simply using Google at this point is using AI.

> The random bold formatting is as good a tell as it gets.

Don't forget the emdash and overuse of emoji.

I think this is what happens when you try to expand information. Like butter scraped over too much bread.

It built the site - you didn’t tell it to do anything but placeholders for the content.

Okay, this cannot be unseen!

Once you know this, you cannot unsee this in every AI design everywhere

Just two resistors to say ‘I am a device, give me 5V’ - you only need more negotiation = a chip - to get more than 5V

Thanks!

Damn font getting smaller and smaller while my eyes stay the same

This is all a reference to the short story ‘Library of Babel’ by Jorge Luis Borges. I feel the page needs to make that a bit more clear!

ok, so focus groups suck...

I have actually picked the colored version almost every time I have bought electronics. I have got red and blue usb drives. I have got a purple phone. I have a blue mouse, the previous one was pink, and my keyboard is green.

Love it, could you do Harold Cohen next?

It’s not an exaggeration to say that every day of the year, from maybe noon to midnight, these buildings are surrounded by people enjoying the city - walking along the river, going to arts events, eating out, walking between offices. It’s a hugely popular free public resource that is a massive good for Londoners. Previously (not here but at other points on the river) the water front was private - accessible only to people inside buildings - or derelict, like the areas around Tate Modern and Tower Bridge. This is one of the most human and whatever the opposite of alienating spaces in London today.

That was a mistake

This is exactly what Upworthy did - they invented some of the clickbait headline formats that are still used today (for less positive news) https://web.archive.org/web/20231114181702/https://www.fastc...
