Gary is not a voice worth listening to. A narcissist, fraud and has terrible epistemics.

That comment doesn’t read like slop in the slightest to me, so the people DMing you have a bad eye for it. Regardless, I think your ‘human’ sample is not a good indicator of the quality of pangram. I would update your priors a bit.

I’ll be honest, i’ve never read text that is human written that reads as close to an LLM as your sample sounds.

I think discounting Pangram’s accuracy based on that sample isn’t very reasonable. Really nobody writes like that other than LLMs!

I'll take your word that it's human written, but reading that gist, it absolutely reads like Claudeslop / GPT slop, it doesn't surprise me in the slightest that Pangram flagged it as AI when it reads identically to LLM output - this feels like a very acceptable edge case to me (assuming you are telling the truth).

Are you absolutely sure you wrote this by hand? If so it's kind of remarkable how close to an LLM you write like.

I’ve never actually seen someone give an example of what they say pangram get wrong, so please go ahead and share.

Pangram is very accurate

Interesting - now that I think about it, feeding Claude my particular Xcode theme from VS code to replicate in Zed, the color tones were quite far off how it looked in cursor. I don't know enough about color rendering to know why that is, but I feel you!

I would usually agree, but I think we should be obligated to call out slop when we see it.

You could solve this fairly easily by giving an LLM the json definition of your sublime text theme and just transforming it onto a zed spec theme? No need for screenshots.

I think this article (and the author's previous articles on their blog) is quite clearly AI written. It has such a frustratingly punctuated cadence and really does not serve the reader anything valuable.

Is GC useful for a static type checker? Or did they make a new runtime?

Specifically with YAML, Go templating requires some special operators to get anything useful done and it ends up being an unreadable mess.
