Submitter here, this blog is usually written in German so there may be some language issues or automatic translation happening. I’ll agree that I don’t like the writing style, slop or otherwise. The notes on Stalwart seem valuable.
[my question, translated]
Hi,
just a quick question about the 2nd latest blog-article “Five daemons or one binary” “Postfix and friends against Stalwart, tested side by side”:
[…] and it came into discussion if/in which way it was written/translated using AI/LLMs?
[response, german, translated by me]
Hi,
yes I use LLMs as support. But I test everything properly/carefully, [and then also(?)] by hand. I only trust the output after tests and when I understand it.
There’s no way that’s a german accent. There may be some human some ai parts, but that does still call into question if they made sure everything came out correct. Just a human translation from someone not familiar with every detail can already imply something wrong due to slight changes in wording if you are unlucky.
And the main original issue was “if they used ai for the writing, what else did they use it for?”. AI is a sign of low quality, and with lots of 100% slop creations posted on this com I wouldn’t read that sort of thing without someone vouching for the quality of the source (Which I take it you do?).
tldr Because of the ai slopocalypse I just don’t like being hit in the face by ai text from opening a random post.
PS: would a human let this graphical issue slip through?
I noticed that together with the presumed-ai text earlier, but chocked it up to mobile layouting. But it’s the exact same on desktop.
Can you give this a slop disclaimer at least?

I’ve asked the author and they responded
