In ways it does though. There are telltale signs of AI writing that once you see it across sites repeatedly, it starts to be annoying to find.

Couple of immediate examples:

- The Codex has 154 pages. 127 of them have been reviewed, 27 not yet. - Each of the 154 pages gets a page of its own.

If an author doesn’t have time to write. Why should I give up my time to read?

Maybe he is translating to English. Maybe he is translating himself and this is an artifact of German.

"If an author doesn’t have time to write. Why should I give up my time to read?"

Perhaps he is taking the time to translate it for you, otherwise you'd have to do it yourself.

It isn't.

Can you point to any of those in the linked text?

Our job isnt to review the work of LLMs for free

You could simply read the linked text yourself. This is worse than asking someone to google something for you.

From the first tool page. Clearly LLM slop.

> Löffelholz does not open his book with a showpiece. He opens it with a practical tool you can adjust: choose a size, clamp it, work.

It's all over.

Because -- if the author is to be believed -- essentially no one bothered to look at this work at all before AI became available to help with it. I had certainly never heard of it before. Had you?

That's the choice being offered. Not between "LLM slop" or "painstaking human authorship", but between something being done or nothing at all being done.

There’s an argument to be made if divorce was easier than more people might get married when they are less serious. My view though is make it harder to get married and easier to get divorced.
