    This looks like a straight LLM output and yet it's sitting third place in my front page.

    Is HN getting astroturfed recently? I feel like a lot of clickbaity low effort content makes the top but it might just be my impression/bias.

    Yep, It was all AI generated. Honestly, I didn’t expect it to get anywhere near the front page.

      I actually built this because I didn't have access to fanout.sh

        It's funny because fanout.sh looks AI-generated too.

        A bit like asking your agent of choice to reimplement a lib only from its docs because you don't like the license (I've seen it done, but not me I swear!).

    Feels like its generated with the speed of light. Is the content linked actually quality content or are these convenient suggestions that rolled out of GPT/Claude?

      Not really. This seems like it's someone who told Claude to find the most popular system design Youtube and sort them into a simple React site :shrug:

    What is a ”deep note”, as opposed to a regular note?

      I have a bad habit of asking my LLMs such questions repeatedly..

    This site could have been 10 little markdown files and would have served the purpose better.
