<p>Why oh why do you use AI to write articles?<p>‘This is the bit that gets lost.’ as a start of the paragraph, and then the very next sentence parroting the chapters title. 3 sentences for 0 new information and this pattern is overused to death.<p>Don’t you people read what you publish? So disrespectful</p>

<p>I downgraded today for the first time in my life. Sequoia is crazy fast in my MacBook Air m2 16gb<p>Not upgrading any of my Macs ever again. I was a fanboy looking for every new update like a present, for 13 years, not anymore.  It took one Tahoe burn all that trust. Never upgrading  major OS versions on hardware from Apple again.</p>

<p>Three AI-generated positive comments in the row from new (green) accounts, with some being answered by Tailscale employees looks like AI-assisted astroturfing PR in hackernews. It’s rampart on every major social network (Reddit especially), interesting to see it live first time on the HN.<p>I am not anti advertising, I just think pushing AI into places were people interact is very bad behavior and should be punished.</p>

<p>Man, if this was irl, you'd be punched in the face or ostracized. That's a quick way to assess if your tone is right.<p>If you don't have a mental capacity to do that (nothing against you, some people are just born that way) — I pity you, but still, try to be 'helpful' over 'correct'. That's how civilization is built.<p>Wikipedia also have this problem, with moderators using some 'wiki-speak' jargon to 'win the comment battles'.</p>

<p>How hard is it to make TTS out of this? A few independent journalists from Belarus asked for TTS in their language, but I am no expert, was thinking about re-using Mozilla's work. What's the easiest way to get working TTS for a language?</p>

<p>I think it’s an artifact of AI being used to write it.<p>I spotted a few more down the page and stopped reading.<p>I trust the judgment (and curation) of a person who invested significant time into learning stuff and then took even more time to write it down.<p>I don’t trust people who use AI to generate text.<p>If I want to read AI slop — I can generate one myself.<p>I want some soul in texts.<p>It is a sad day for the internet.</p>
