Genuinely, why? More people than ever are using LLMs to flood the internet with textual slop far faster than humans who have respect for the craft of writing can generate their own text.

I checked Jared Hecht (the author of this piece’s blog) at jared.xyz and the oldest piece is from March 2023. Why should we give someone who has no evidence of writing anything before the release of ChatGPT the benefit of the doubt that their work is all human written, when all signs point to otherwise?

Because the signs are only in your head. There is no hard evidence. It is a disingenuous and false way to attempt to discredit someone. Anyone can be accused of it for writing anything at all. The argument that the writing started after the invention of ChatGPT is simply horrible because everyone starts sometime.

It's like calling someone a witch in historical times. By the way, your comment looks to be AI generated, so please do us a favor and stop generating more slop.

Of course there is no "hard evidence" unless someone leaves evidence of the prompt or AI response in their blog post. There are certain clues and syntax. Your comment seems like it would fit in much better on Reddit than on HN.

Negative. You're the one making unproven bad-faith assertions, trying to discredit someone on the basis of witch-hunting logic. Your comment belongs nowhere.
