Item — HN Reader

So the upvotes were for? Anyway, we disagree — thats normal.

> As usual with LLM, it is based on other content.

Show me where else on the internet someone waxed poetic about a conceptual separation of transport and function regarding WireGuard. I dare you.

Show me another client library like the one in the article? That’s the double-dare.

Did you even read it?

Since you didn't think it was worth writing it yourself, I don't see how you can expect others to think it's worth spending their time to read.

So no, then? Thanks for your thoughtful engagement.

People getting tricked? Who knows?

I quit when I figured it was written by an LLM. I'm not interested in reading LLM 'content' without it providing a source.

I am willing to generate some of my own sauce with a prompt, and then requesting the sources. That way, I know at least some parameters of the input and output.

But with your article, I do not know which sources were used as reference, I do not know which prompt you used.

As for HN, they're busy with tackling the LLM problem. They know it is a problem.

Again, this was novel content. If you find a source of anything similar let me know. I'm belaboring this point for one important reason: content matters. I want to see new thoughts, not repetitive mindless drivel in personal "voice".

There has to be a balance.

One thing I've seen before is people being upfront about using LLMs (at the top of the content). That way, those who dislike it will feel less tricked.

The balance at least on this site is strongly in favour of humans writing things.

You’re belabouring the point because you don’t believe that by filling the internet with slop you’re doing anything wrong when actually it’s antisocial and wrecks the commons.

If you think content matters so much then just invest the time in writing it yourself rather than trying to convince others that it is ok that you didn’t.

The pot calling the kettle black, methinks. How are you improving the internet by vilifying new ideas?

Did you? That is the issue we have. We can't know for sure that you even read your own article, since it has all the hallmarks of LLM generated content. It's embarrassing.
