  • Hacker News
  • I expected this to call out the number of links that are obviously vibe coded, like itself!

    If you see:

    - ALL CAPS subheaders

    - a light beige background

    - burnt sienna anchor and/or highlight text

    - a "• LIVE" (or really any pulsing • symbol with an ALL CAPS follow-up)

    - tons of variation in font sizes (this one has 15 different text sizes!)

    - more typically, a lot of overexplaining

    ...you know it's vibe'd, specifically with Claude!

  • Every technical topic involves AI now. Even if it's about why the ancient Greeks didn't turn their steam engines to industrial use - the AI's should be researching the details. We might as well ask which topics involve humans or use language.

  • It's remarkable how stable 20-30% show HN concentration is after late 2022, for the extended stats.
  • Interestingly, we can deduce that the actual percentage will always be higher since not everyone uses those labels/words.
  • At first I thought about how many posts were written by AI
  • Would there be some way to see what percentage of the front page meets those qualifications? I don't browse /new very often, so I have less of an idea of how representative that is. It would be interesting to see if they trend similarly.

    Thanks for the cool project!

  • The topic of an article being AI and an "AI-Generated Article" are two completely different things.
