Just read the post and it didn’t sound AI to me. Would be kind of funny if someone from the team came out and said it was written by a human.

Maybe the human has been reading too much ai generated text and got influenced by it?

Exactly! We have accepted British English, American English, Australian English …. Lets just accept AI English and move on.

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?

There's not a strong reason for a human to write this type of content anymore

Am I the only one who expects ALL writing to be generated or at least edited by an LLM going forward? It's like pointing out the fabric in my clothes was not hand woven by a human. Sounding like an AI wrote it is not as valid a criticism as "it was unclear about...", or "It was too long", or "It left out this important point...". Can't we move past the "It sounds like AI..." posts?

Oh, I know exactly what you mean. I use plannotator with claude a lot and have much better time, since I asked for a specific styleguide. I used "CD era MSDN reference and Raymond Chen blogging style" as a starting prompt for the styleguide and my work ability to digest AI plans raised a lot. Couldn't recommend it more. Humble, insightful and respecting the reader

When people say LLM slop is disrespecting the reader, I don't think they are complaining about style.

What is the shadcn/ui equivalent for Angular? PrimeNG had a licensing change recently and I'm looking at a suitable alternatives for a fresh project.

> PrimeNG had a licensing change recently Both attempts [1] to surface this on HN failed but if you are using a PrimeTek component library you need to be aware of this change. PrimeNG, PrimeReact, and PrimeVue are all going fully closed source and ongoing licencing will be $800 per developer seat in 2027. [2] The previous repos have been archived. [3] PrimeFaces remains open source but it's now developed and maintain…

Well, fuck.

Any community forks?

That's where the annotation in plannotator helps.

I'm asking to scan projects on gitlab, go through some docs to find more grounding material, write a subarticle (in the same style), scan logs on the test env, issue some curls, etc.; until the whole article is digestible - in the "backing knowledge graph" department.

I didn't read the post and scrolled to a random clause. "Because you own the code. You've added variants, changed classes, threaded new props. A codemod handles the components you never touched and breaks on the ones you did."

It's so staccato throughout, a human wouldn't write like this.

> Just read the post and it didn’t sound AI to me. Those short and punchy two-part sentence groups very much feel like the writing that Claude does, like: The writing feels familiar. Suspicion earns its keep. Ultimately, the judgement remains yours. Not conjecture, your thoughts. Then again, I bet how much aversion people feel to that sort of thing depends on how much they’ve been exposed to that, especially in frust…

People do write like that. Claude learned it from somewhere, after all. I read an X post yesterday where someone was complaining about "genuinely" as being an AI tell.

I think the broader phenomenon with the AI tells is it is revealing about a person's consumption. If they already interacted with and read material that resembled AI output, it wouldn't seem as weird. But if you encounter a particular pattern with the AI before you encounter the human patterns that trained it that way, it seems like an AI quirk.

For boring applications - do people prefer the copy paste approach of shadcn instead of a traditional ui library like mantine? The copy paste approach may be easily modifiable but creates new problems - ie now there is an upgrade ai agent for something that should just be ticking up a version number.

The copy paste approach is just a plain bad idea, I am not sure why this doesn't get more criticism
