Just a PSA: the entire article is AI generated
Is it? I know there's ai in the domain, but I don't get that vibe from the style, and I just checked out the claimed authors and am confident they're real people who've been writing since before LLMs could do it well.

The author says it's mostly AI. "In my defense, only the technical parts are AI. But, thanks for the feedback; I thought I had unsloped it enough..."
Also at Git, in the readme for the tool to explore the data, "iKnow is fully LLM-generated and may not be 100% accurate."
so this whole story is bullshit?
No, it is definitely there and real, I deleted the databases and blocked them from being rebuilt on my mac yesterday. People can use LLMs to do useful work, especially if they already know what they are doing.
Maybe so, but if someone can't be bothered to write it, I can't be bothered to read it.
seriously. I can deal with an inept overly techy writer, but if you use the lying machine to mediate your communication, I can't trust anything you say.
Automated messaging systems that send us important or relevant information have been around for quite a while now. Ignoring a message simply because of the way it was created is rarely wise.
Automated messaging systems have been deterministic but indeed, if more than just a short notice have been routinely ignored by most since the rise of e-mail and automated spam.
How does one do this?

Operation not permittedbullshit, just make sure the app you're using has Full Disk Access since this is considered a "protected folder".The AI accent has progressed and Claudespeak is essentially this. There's no blatant tells but my brain has been fried from seeing too much ai content that I can detect it now. This is a surprisingly deslopped version but it still feels pretty ai generated to me (not to mention the website design).
Yup, your LLMdar is better than mine, as the other reply to me links to the author admitting it on HN. I'd like to be better at detecting it, but if the price is having to read loads of mediocre prose then the price is too damn high.
