The problem is not AI code, but not knowing about system architecture or intent

    Clicks on blog, sees AI generated template, leaves.

    Enough, already.

      I mean, the content doesn't look AI generated. I couldn't care less if someone AI generates their blog template, the rest of the content seems meaningful.

      How humans can differentiate the things they make has been something I’ve been thinking about a bit recently. What markers signal to you this is AI generated?

      This page has been live long before AI appeared, I used Quartz [1] v3, now at v5. But added some features I like with AI, yes, but still keeping my beloved color theme and web style as I had it for a long, long time. The whole code for the second brain (ssp.sh/brain/*) is on GitHub, in case you want to check it [2], but you can also see the "Changelog" in the footer to see recent visual changes. But I'd be curious what makes you think it's AI-generated?

        Apologies.

        The beige coloring with the bright green &quot;recently updated&quot; label somehow triggered my &quot;this template is made by Claude&quot; instinct.

          good point, thanks for the honesty. I will change that, I think the color inside pop up make sense (red removed, green added words), but the green dot does not add value.

      Who cares? The writing certainly wasn&#x27;t AI.
