It is very noticeable. Funny how it jumps right out when you've seen AI slop often enough. #5 is good and looks "real", whatever that means any more.

It was incredibly refreshing to read an honest story, warts and all, written by a human. And equally infuriating to read a comment about it written by AI.

There are many tells aren't there? There was clearly hard human work and experimentation here, but it's a shame the OP let AI do chunks of the writing. Once you see it, it's much harder to take the post seriously.

"Google has made it really easy to create api credentials for own use, just follow these few steps..." As someone who's been through that particular gauntlet a few times recently, I got a chuckle from the sarcasm.

I second this -- I just found the Ben Eater series a month or so ago and put together his computer clock over the holidays. It really helps you understand clock cycles, logic chips, etc, and is a good foundation for the 6502 kit you build later in the course. And learning Assembly before BASIC is the right learning path IMO, if only to understand how CPU registers work at the electron level.

I have never made it to the end of a Wolfram post, or a David Foster Wallace book. I'm envious of people who can read AND understand these tomes.

Do you have details on what "optimise for token usage" looks like in Cursor? Or is your point more about how Cursor manages the context window?

Thank you, thought I was going crazy. Maybe this is the new thing, adding grammatical errors so people won't think the content was written by AI.
