The boring explanation is that AI wrote this. The more interesting theory is that folks are beginning to adopt the writing quirks of AI en masse.



I feel more like AI have adopted some preexisting disagreeable writing styles from the beginning and now we associate these with AI.


The way I like to phrase this sentiment is "This guy is the training data."


Yeah, this is why I have transitioned from "this seems like it was written with AI" to "this is full of clichés." Maybe it was only written by a human or maybe it was written entirely with AI or somewhere in between, but in any case, clichés make it tiresome to read.


At least I'm not the only one who noticed. It's genuinely weird and unsettling how such AI-written blog posts nowadays get to the top of HN easily.
