Saw this coming a mile away.<p>A lot of articles that make it to the front page of HN are formulaic. We open ourselves up to this. Every blog post with shallow observations, every tutorial showcasing the first few pages of documentation, every biography on how to make money fast, every lucky shit that pontificates on how to manage teams and companies, every one selling an ebook, and everyone selling an ebook about selling an ebook after having sold 50 lifetime ebooks (topic being about success of course), and it was only a matter of time.<p>I count 3-4 posts about depression and existentialism per week on HN, and few ever reference the depth in which many great writers dig deep into the subject. Exercise more I guess.<p>Time to add ‘did a novice or a robot or a sociopathic narcissist write this?’ to our critical thinking toolbox.<p>Edit: I can’t tell if I fell for a gpt article about a gpt article, for what it’s worth. This is going to be a disaster when it hits the masses.
