    I have a visceral “AI” sensor that triggers when I see these:

    “Rust Implementation (v2)”

    “Performance Benchmarks (Validated)”

    Human beings don’t self-validate explicitly like that. AI loves doing it.

    You generate code, there’s a bug, you ask for a fix, your AI of choice will always output with:

    *** Fix build issue ***

    *** End fix ***

    and then call it “Version 2 (Validated)”.

    Sometimes it’s more subtle, but you can feel it, it loves adding “confirmed”, “working”, “validated”.

      I have a project with a bunch of compose files that define the services I self host. I “deploy” the project by sshing into my server and doing “git pull” which means I’m often making changes that don’t get tested before committing to source control. As a result I have long chains of commits like:

      • refactor the sproingy widget
      • refactor the sproingy widget v2
      • refactor the sproingy widget working
      • maybe the sproingy widget works this time?
      • ok finally found the issue with refactor sproingy widget
      • fix formatting of sproingy widget

      And now I’m wondering if I’ve been an llm this whole time

      My sensor is much simpler. If I see emoji in headings or bulleted lists, I assume it’s shit. It might be AI slop, or it might just be kids getting overexcited with the little pictures, but both deserve suspicion and scrutiny.

      If a bunch of the emoji don’t even make sense it can get in the bin.
