lists, em dashes, headings and typical length of LLM response.


Yeah, the article was written in Markdown, LLM-s employ markdown formatting too. It's not a typical length of LLM response — it's approx 1.5-2.0 times longer than a typical long LLM response. Not easily noticable to a human being though, indeed.


I disagreed with your article, but this critique of it is just goofy. I also write in Markdown, use lists where appropriate, and — gasp! — write em dashes where appropriate.


You think an AI wrote "So, is the Rust bad or good? It’s neither. It’s a mediocre programming language with thousands of man-month put into its development — this fact alone makes Rust a viable tool"? No it didn't.


I 100% think LLMs were involved in its production, just not written wholesale.


It's 200% LLM used in production — like 10 hours of dialogs right before writing the article. I had much more hours of coversations with Rust fanboys and it was mostly a waste of time, they just would not try to negotiate on Rust's weak points. I would definitely not be able to write the article with only human support — it's really sad to conclude that LLM-s are much better assistants because they are neutral and objective.


Were any parts copy pasted from LLM output (and possible changed after)?


Why would I do this and why do you think I did? Or do you feel like my english is so bad I'm probably writing ransom note out of pieces of LLM output? I can ensure you I'm good enough at typing and talking in english to not require copy-pasting. Do you have any quotes from the article that you feel like were copy-pasted from LLM?


soon we ll hafta rite lyk dis and maybe தேவையே இல்லாம include other languages in the text, just so people won't automatically say it's AI written.
