Am I crazy? Why do I feel like all the text on the page was written by a LLM? I started seeing this everywhere

not again

Please read the article before commenting. It's not about what you think it is

Same. This blog post is actually good news

OK, but the poster is a party clown. How is he supposed to get business? He can't just show up to kids' birthdays when he hears them down the street.

If it's loose then you might want to screw it on.

Sorry, couldn't resist! The correct word here is lose, when something is loose it means that it's not fastened or constrained, like a loose knot


> I'm very impressed that anyone who speaks another language natively can get good at it.

From my completely anecdotal observations, native speakers are the worst at English. They struggle with homophones, prepositions, tenses, confuse meanings of words, apostrophes and I could go on and on.

English grammar is easier to learn by reading and writing than speaking, what most native speakers do.

Its/it's, they/their/they're, who's/whose, prepositions like a lot, a while and confused words like definitely and defiantly are the first that come to mind. See if you are better than a foreigner.


As an example of this, native German speakers are often better at knowing when to use "who" vs "whom" because German grammar rules are in some ways a superset of English grammar rules.

You don't have to refer to German grammar since the English grammar in this case contains all necessary ingredients; there is inflection depending on the case:

You don't say "You give I the apple.", but "You give me the apple." (similar for he, she, we, they), i.e. the pronoun is inflected depending on whether it is subject or object, so English speakers are perfectly aware on the difference between subject and object.

When you refer to the subject, you use "who" and when you refer to the object, you use "whom".


Whom is on its way out anyway; I don't think I ever use it at all and certainly never hear anyone else use it.

This is terrible. So disrespectful. It's baffling how someone can do this under their own name

I also don't read AI slop. It's disrespectful to any reader.

this shit is ChatGPT-written and I'm really tired of it. If I wanted to read chatgpt I would have asked it myself. Half of the article are nonsensical repeated buzzwords thrown in for absolutely no reason

The noscript would not be needed at all. The value could be the real one by default, then in js set to 0 and incremented

True, in this case even easier!

I guess I thought of noscript due to other cases I had recently, where I noscript-ed a whole workflow and displayed elements, that should never appear, when JS is running.
