HN could use some of this. It'd be nice if there was a safe having from the equivalent of high grade junk mail.

we just need human attestation. A vial of blood per comment

Please drink a verification can.

Very interesting tbh! + I have never heard from kagi until now & I just decided to check out following link

https://help.kagi.com/kagi/why-kagi/why-pay-for-search.html

Now tell me why the whole article has been written by AI? It's literally AI slop itself

These guys should launch a coin and pay the fact checkers. The coin itself would probably be worth more than Kagi.

This sure looks like AI generated crypto shill slop, because it's so astoundingly senseless that no human in their right mind would ever write it.

What makes you think this is slop?

Also, I think many people use the term "slop" and "AI was involved" interchangeably, but to me, they're not synonymous. To me, writing blog posts with the help of AI is fine (grammar checks, structural help etc.) while auto-generated content generation w/o human oversight is not.

The negated sentence structure "X isn't just Y -- it's Z" directly followed by a list of 3 or 4 bullet points. Maybe the bullet points are a heavy reach but nobody can tell me otherwise of the former.

I agree on your first part! The whole article does read like slop tho; it's more like "Human was involved" here

Earlier quoted context omitted.

How about when English isn't someone's first language and they are using AI to rewrite their thoughts into something more cohesive? You see this a lot on reddit.

> How about when English isn't someone's first language and they are using AI to rewrite their thoughts into something more cohesive? They should honestly use a different tool. Translation is a space in which language models are diverse, competitive and competent. If your translated content sounds like ChatGPT, it's going to be dismissed. Unfairly, perhaps. But consistently nevertheless.

They want to turn two sentences into four paragraphs.

Your heuristic isn’t just coarse — it’s misleading.
