The PR? He said it was AI in the comment you replied to...

I don't think the post itself reads like AI at all, but that's just me.

I think "this" refers to its parent comment. Part of it sounds like Claude wrote it. AI-generated comments aren't allowed on HN.

Indeed, I was referring to the parent comment.

The post is absolutely LLM-generated. “Punchy” short sentences, “… has quietly come to mean …”, “The optimized paths weren’t there to execute.”

The post itself is totally AI-generated. It has tons of tells, in addition to Pangram saying so.

Here's the thing: life also imitates art. If you invert your load-bearing assumption, it could be that he just reads too much slop. But my honest take? You might be right.
