I’ve had this sense that HN has gotten absolutely innundated with bots last few months. First most obvious giveaway is the frequency with which you see accounts posting brilliant insights like 13 60 well and t6ctctfuvuh7hguhuig8h88gd to f6gug7h8j8h6fzbuvubt GB I be cugttc fav uhz cb ibub8vgxgvzdrc to bubuvtxfh tf d xxx h z j gj uxomoxtububonjbk P.l.kvh cb hug tf 6 go k7gtcv8j9j7gimpiiuh7i 8ubg or 1662476506 or Аё Beyond the accounts that are visibly glitching out, the vibe is also seriously off.

    I’ve used it extensively almost all my life. I love it. But I have largely stopped since the advent of LLMs. I’ve also changed my uses of bullets. I will now rarely do a flat bulleted list. I will either write sentences or do a nested list.

    I don’t think those things are bad, but I see them so much in llm writing that they have, for now, become ugly to me.

      I never used em dashes before, but I use the shit out of bullet points, it’s too good at distinguishing stuff from the rest of a comment. I’d hate to have to give those up…
