I may be wrong, but my personal experience is just that AIs are better at better-documented languages. By now, Rust is very well documented, perhaps significantly better than Zig (I haven't verified!).

Try asking an AI to write OpenCL shaders for you. It constantly hallucinates function calls that don't exist. I presume it is just because the language is does not have the ocean of documentation that others have.

"De-googling" is a spectrum, and I was pretty proud of being farther and farther away (Android and Youtube being the main resistance). But recently, I find myself using Gemini more and more often... I hate that I am more relying on it, but Gemini seems significantly smarter than the other free alternatives for the stuff that I do :(. But Gemini has been extremely helpful for me.

It's a nickname: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pel%C3%A9

Only for the models where I'm not paying per token.

Let me tell you something that does not make money: selling fiction books as an independent author (through physical copies, Kindle ebooks and Kindle Unlimited). Family member is a good writer, has been trying to "make it" for a few years already (published multiple books, has good reviews), and the monthly profit is still not enough to buy a pizza.

If they story is genuinely good, they can adopt it into a film or animation.

Ah, c'mon! You went all the way to find out the issue and write about it, and won't do the most interesting part which is to tell us what was the remote script that would end up running!?

How can you tell AI was used here? I'm curious.

I must admit that I felt like it was AI generated too. AI has an habit of saying in threes,

1M ARR, 100k users, a product people actually pay for and depend on.

this line feels something that LLM'ism sometimes do too: Someone got hold of one of my API keys and ran up charges on Google's AI services that I never touched. $4,200 hit my card for usage that wasn't mine. Fine, happens I paid the bill. But Google suspended my whole project. Everything lived in there. The backend, and every single customer photo, over a million of them.

A and B, C but D,E,F

again the rules of threes.

Although I am not sure what zach saw but I just got the internal vibe that it was written, atleast partially with the help of AI so I could atleast attest to that.

I can be totally wrong and I usually am and that's okay but just wanted to share that zach might not be wrong about it being generated with LLM's.

and Yes I know that grammar sentences can be formed that way too and this is the sad part about LLM's is that since they copied on our texts themselves, we are unable to find the difference if a text is LLM generated or not and I don't have any absolutely definitive proof of it being this way but yeah, I hope I am able to get my point across.

The sibling has pointed out some things and you can check that, but —

This has AI fingerprints all over it and it was clear to me too. The fact that not only do people not notice this, but also that the comment pointing it out is dead and I can’t even reply to it, is sad/scary/funny. The internet of people is literally dying before our eyes and HN just flags anyone helping to sound the alarm.

If you check the post on Pangram it shows up as 100% AI written.

You're trying to say they are good quality!?

I recently had to gift someone some books, so I decided to try B&N online shipping since Amazon sometimes damages books. I ordered 3 books: all 3 came loose in a big box, all 3 were damaged: they looked like used books, unacceptable as a gift. I returned them, they didn't have ship-to-store option (which was what Gemini was telling me to push for), and they sent me new ones: all 3 arrived damaged, again. It turns out, B&N is worse than Amazon: 100% book damage rate on 6 books, worse customer support, worse return policy, worse everything. Enshitification 100%.

I have found basically no way to buy books online where they don't arrive damaged at this point. I've gone through multiple return/rebuy cycles with Amazon trying to get an undamaged copy and have just given up. I don't know if it's my local distribution center, but it's something like 90% damaged on arrival at this point.

Amazon has had massive quality reduction over the years in their service, but this one and the poor-quality knock-off books are the ones that bother me most.

Publishers sell directly -- haven't tried it myself. Anyone?

I wish there was a version of this website that was simpler, more educated and that I could show to the "normies" who own business and insist on asking me to download their app (I'm looking at you, TKD school!). This one is too aimed at the cooks.

Then I can't copy+paste, so I might make a typo when sending you a message.
