Comment on The 'if this goes down, I riot' self-hosted app
MoonlitSanguine@lemmy.zip 2 weeks agoIt’s hard to say exactly, it’s like noticing when something is CGI in a movie. It’s just kind of off.
The first few sentences gives it away for me. There’s also the filler words.
Also the way it rephrases the sentences. You have:
there’s always that one piece of software, that one perfectly tuned instance, where if it so much as hiccuped, you’d be ready to throw the entire homelab
Then again:
what’s your absolute, non-negotiable, ‘i will personally visit the datacenter if this fails’ self-hosted application
It’s also possible they just write like a bot.

I’ll add that it’s a multiple of parts (see this video), not just one factor that gives it away. But for me the most telling one is that the text looks like the author spent a lot of time thinking about what figures of speech to use but at the same time did not use capital letters. The prompt clearly included something like “don’t use capital letters to make it look more casual”. But the LLM forgot to make the semantics look casual.
Unlikely but if it were true, it would not change a thing. For me it does not matter who wrote the slop. It’s crap writing regardless and I don’t want to see that on the internet.
Btw from the video we can see the “rule of 3 pattern” which was used in this post:
Also I think the greeting “alright folks, let’s get real” is a gipitism.
Here you missed that this sentence makes no sense in a selfhosted context. What datacenter??? I honestly don’t know how can anyone doubt the elelemcy here.
