    I do feel like I've developed an entire new sense in spotting LLM written garbage. Like, I can instantly tell if something was written by an LLM. It's got that... Uncanny valley factor.

    The author of the blog said they're worried about non-experts buying these books and thinking they're legit.

    My hope is that they won't - because you don't have to be an expert at Starlark (as mentioned too by the author) to recognise LLM written garbage.

    Whenever I get the LLM-sense within the first paragraph of a text, I immediately discard the entire thing.

    This is coming from someone who works heavily with 'AI' and is a huge proponent of it btw, but where it has its place - which definitely isn't this.
