   Damn, we’re even having Claude write important press releases now

      "Write a post about decreasing limits so that this information is as obfuscated as possible."

      I put the text in to gptzero's AI checker and it came back with being Highly Confident it was 100% AI written. I don't think I've ever seen it that confident that the entire thing was AI before.

         Claude's style is obvious enough I don't think you really need the checker.

         1. Jeremy1026 · 1789675302 · focus · HN ↗

            Yes it is, but 100%? Typically someone goes through and touches something to clarify or add a detail.

            You can tell it's Claude only from reading the H2 tags on the page.

            > What happens on October 19

            > If you're close to a limit

            > What changes and what doesn't

      Hmm I don't know if they've updated it, but I'm not smelling any of the Claudisms I know so well. No convoluted sentences, metaphors, therapy-speak, 'it's not' constructions, "load bearing" etc etc.

         It’s the structure that really gives this one away. If you were writing a blog post about introducing limits you wouldn’t explain what HTTP 429 is or what the behavior would be like. It’s a rate limit.

         The one that gave it away for me was “a request that arrives with no credentials gets 60 requests”. Nobody speaks like this, almost everyone would say “unauthenticated requests are limited to 60 per minute”, unless they’re writing a LinkedIn post which Claude seems to think it’s always doing.

      My FF being in French, I was automatically served a French version and I just couldn't understand what I was reading. Each sentence unclear, no link between sentences...

      I've mentioned in other threads, but we have execs at my work sending out emails using Claude. It's hilarious, but not unexpected.

      Dunno, for folks around here, Claude is important, Gitlab is important and banal press release is important. So all of them together makes it obviously important.

      1. vips7L · 1789783611 · focus · HN ↗

         Claude sucks.

      it's painful to read.
