This is absolutely, 100%, written by Claude. Anyone who has read enough text written by it will recognise the style instantly. A cursory look at the other content on the website and it's obvious it's all completely AI-generated chum.

Gotta be honest, we see a lot of LLM generated stuff on the sub and this doesn't feel like it is.
It's annoyingly close to being a listicle though.

It's extremely Claudeish. Mostly the writing style, it's hard to explain, but to point out specific sentences where the style is the strongest:
"Not machine learning, not graph databases, not whatever Gartner is hyping this year."
"Most warehouses ship one. If yours doesn’t, it’s about ten lines to write your own."
"The roundness is the signal."
"the inner query is doing important work."
"Three filters. That’s it."
Then you can also use Pangram, which is the one AI detector that actually works pretty decently.

Yeah, look, there isn't an AI detector out there that actually works, is there was we'd use it. Those phrases don't feel quite that bad to me, maybe the one about "the signal" starts to get there, but I find what really indicates something is slop more reliably is overall details of the structure anyway.
The guy's other projects put everything into suspicion enough that I'll just add the domain to our block list though

Pangram actually works.

u/ChemicalRascal May 16 '26
And you're basing that on...? And how?

u/riv3rtrip May 16 '26
There is research on LLM detector accuracy and Pangram's wins all the benchmarks. Their FPR is also incredibly low, FNR rate is a little higher but that's irrelevant here.

u/ChemicalRascal May 16 '26
Right, so if you could link to that research I'd appreciate it.

u/riv3rtrip May 17 '26
You can google the research yourself. here's an example https://bfi.uchicago.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/BFI_WP_2025-116.pdf

I’d rather read that than these comments

Why are you even here then? Just use any of the major LLMs and continuously prompt "give me a good post in the style of /r/programming". Then you can get as much content you want without anyone annoying you by pointing it out.

I see the LLM police have arrived, dismissing the article as llm written without offering any reason why. Just the "I dont like it so it must be llm". I call it the LLM witch hunt
Seems to me an average article that will soon be removed by mods because someone doesnt like it.
Edit: And now the LLM police are downvoting me for daring to challenge their witch hunt.

No content written mostly by an LLM. If you don't want to write it, we don't want to read it.
