It’s getting tiring to hear at this point, but the Claude voice comes through clearly in this post, and it’s a little off-putting. If even an important product release doesn’t warrant full human attention, where will we draw the line?

Serious question, why does it matter to you? Maybe they wrote a draft and reviewed Claude's writing before publishing. Why are we trying to "call out" when AI is assisting us in our work? This is an open source project, not a F500 company. They have limited resources, maybe English isn't their first language.

I'm sure this received full human attention, even if they used a computer to help write it (be that more traditional text tools or more recent ones).

My choice is https://www.skeleton.dev/

Why? There's a thousand component libraries, what makes this one stand out?

It uses Zag js for its primitives which is framework agonistic as opposed to Radix or Base UI. Shadcn is only for React. If you use Solid.js for example, Skeleton is an option for your design system.

Because it implies that the users of the AI don't understand that it's output is usually horseshit littered with enough good info to make it sound correct

Because it sounds like the average LinkedIn poster and we don't want it to invade spaces outside LinkedIn.

I think fundamentally it's just really annoying to read the same cringey LinkedIn style voice everywhere.

If you manage to write an AI assisted article that doesn't tediously follow the "what this means for you", "it's not this, it's that", "One thing. Two things. Three things." formula... I really doubt people would complain.

Because I associate that style with "I have little to say, but I will say it in as many words as I possibly can"

I hate the marketing-selling-linkedn style as much as anyone, but I don't think it's an LLM thing in particular. It's a style that existed before LLMs and it's very easy to make LLMs avoid it with one or two prompt paragraphs.

For what it's worth, I didn't get that vibe reading this post.
