[–] CameronDev@programming.dev 21 points 1 month ago (5 children) Urgh, that site is full AI slop. permalink fedilink source hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] RobotToaster@mander.xyz [S] 4 points 1 month ago (4 children) Damn, I didn't notice, it was the first half decent looking source I found to post. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] CameronDev@programming.dev 17 points 1 month ago (3 children) The new cameras are not announced, not spec'd, and not dated. There is no model name, no sensor, no price. What the company is describing is a direction, not a product you can buy. That was what triggered me. I'm sure fstoppers used to be a reputable source, so its kinda disappointing. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] WesternInfidels@feddit.online 2 points 1 month ago (2 children) Can you explain what it is about these sentences that makes you think they were machine generated? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CameronDev@programming.dev 3 points 1 month ago It just has the same cadence and patterns as a lot of the overt slop writing I have read has. Im happy to consider a second opinion if you think its not AI generated? permalink fedilink source parent [–] Zagorath 1 point 1 month ago The first two sentences, on their own, do have a slight whiff of AI about them, but I would 100% believe were human. But that last one, especially in combination with the first two, absolutely reeks of AI. Making a grandiose-sounding "it's this, not that" style statement is a classic AI thing. Not that humans can't write something of the form "it's this, not that", but the way humans tend to do it feels more organic, and less like it's a failed attempt at presenting a hugely enlightening concluding remark. permalink fedilink source parent
