Isn't AI generated text in submissions not allowed on HN? Like seriously, they couldn't be bothered to write this?

You need to realize that a lot of end workers are getting pushed to do this by managers to show "efficiency" and toe the line.

I’ve noticed that GitHub seems very ok with having obvious AI generated text in their public posts. It’s sad.

I wonder, do they not notice? Do they not think we do? Do they not care? If not, why would anyone conclude that they care about the product? There is so much evidence that they do not care, this is yet another piece of data to add to the pile.

Or they’re blind to it now like many people that have fully given up all cognitive control to chatbots.

I simply do not believe that.

I (like most people in tech) use LLMs every day at work. If anything it has made me much more sensitive to claudespeak.

I know several people who work at GitHub. The idea that they are somehow different from the rest of us who smell that shit a mile away simply does not scan to me.
