Please stop assuming that every comment that includes an em dash is AI. Em dashes are very useful!

Not who you replied to but also someone who found the comment ChatGPT-ey - it’s also the sentence phrasing and tone. “It’s not just x, it’s a whole different paradigm y” is a classic ChatGPT method.

Back in the day i used square brackets [but now i think they are too heavy].

It doesn't read to me like AI content. It's also against HN guidelines to randomly suggest comments are AI generated.

The use of en dashes and short staccato sentences for rhetorical flourishes are a giveaway. AI writes like a LinkedIn post.

> Why? Because LLMs don’t just autocomplete. They generate. And in doing so, they challenge our identity, not just our workflows.

is what raised flags in my head. Rather than explain the difference between glorified autocompletion and generation, the post assumes there is a difference then uses florid prose to hammer in the point it didn't prove.

I've heard the paragraph "why? Because X. Which is not Y. And abcdefg" a hundred times. Deepseek uses it on me every time I ask a question.

Here’s the thing though…if you read enough of it, you’re gonna start using it a lot more often. It’s not just AI slop, it’s fundamentally rewiring how we as a society think in real time! It’s the classic copycat AI mannerisms cried wolf Problem!

Alternately, the AI learned it from us, because we write that way.

Which came first...

Haha, got a laugh out of me assuming you were intentionally demonstrating by example :)

I definitely didn't "randomly" suggest it, unless you're suggesting all human actions are the result of randomness. I also just re-read the guidelines and I didn't see anything about in the letter of the law, but I agree it probably goes against the spirit. I'll take the downvotes and keep it to myself next time.

I think it's human-written but meant to sound like GPT cliches. Deliberately laying it on thick, as a pisstake.

Doesn't read like it to me. It has "reddit spacing", but enough information density and colloquialism that it's probably a person.
