Comment on Redlib is running on borrowed time — so I built a Reddit front-end that archives what it serves

The author seems to be a proper software engineer assisted by Claude Code which is OK in my book. They seem to be Chinese and translate everything into English with AI. Since I can’t read Chinese I can’t tell you whether the Chinese readme is also generated:
I wouldn’t call this project slop, as it clearly has a human touch and not completely written by AI it seems from a first glance at the code, but that’s the reason the writing sounds so “grating”: Chinese person feeding an LLM with idioms not present in English language.

Thx for that, I could write my own words anyway, I just thought it would be more native if I use cluade to translate … sorry for those grating words

It sounds like you’re a non-native speaker, and that’s fine, but just so you know in the future it’d probably be better to write your post in your native language and then use deepl to translate it if you can’t write a good text in englisj. Might end up a tad stilted but people here would like it a lot more.

Hell, I’d love to see them try their hand at an explanation before the AI text vomit. As long as it’s mostly readable, I’d rather it be a bit stilted but honest rather than this crap.
Honest question: What would be the difference? DeepL uses AI language models and machine learning models for translation. I guess there would be a lack of em dashes so the text doesn’t offend delicate sensibilities.

Their “AI platform” thing is marketing nonsense, they were around before the AI bubble, it’s the same tech as google translate (technically AI, but not the same kind).
My point was mostly that they should write a text in chinese the way they want then machine translate it to english, so the structure and substance is human-made.
