Then you're totally right. In this case, it's a poor usage of AI because we are able to tell it's slop.
Odds are very high at this point that I've come across a piece of content I enjoyed that was at least partly written by an LLM without having detected it.

That doesn't change anything about the content itself. AI writing is a disservice to the reader. Why should I even care to read an article you didn't even care about writing yourself? At this point a 300-character tweet would've achieved the same effect.
Because I would've completely avoided the article if I knew that I would be served slop. I was interested in the content, but I was immediately thrown off by the writing style, which closely resembles what I've been getting from Opus 4.8 lately in my dev work. Filler language and useless metaphors everywhere.
> Booleans look tidy until somebody adds a third case and exhaustiveness silently doesn’t kick in. Strings narrow honestly.
Like, nobody truly writes like that. It wouldn't get past any competent editor.
Strings narrow honestly? What does that even mean? This kind of 3-word precision is useless and they appear everywhere in the article. We get the point with in the first sentence, no need to add more.
This has got to be the worst learn x in y minutes that I've ever read. Whitespaces, anyone? Every example is compacted and very hard to read. Comments should document each line instead of a huge wall of text before the function.
Naming everything ExampleX is very difficult to see what is being talked about in this particular function.
I'm lucky to know enough about Dart already, because this is a very bad representation of it, IMO.
I'm on week 2 of Functional Programming Principles in Scala, at Coursera, and so far it's been a very pleasing experience. Lectures are of very high quality, and assignements are well built. I can't talk for any other MOOC, because that's the first one I've been on, but I would definitely recommend it to anyone.
The problem is not with the ads themselves. What you described here screams ADWARE at me. Somehow, your grandpa got an adware installed on his machine (maybe by clicking on every ad that says "boost your computer speed by 10x!"). That's what is causing him such a painful browsing experience.
That's good work! However the user experience is not the best. I would rather have the chatrooms stacked on the left, instead of inside a dropdown. That way we can quickly see the available rooms. And I'd like to have a list of users currently in the same room as me.
Also, a personal preference of mine is having the new message text box on the bottom.
Actually, Pi day is next year on March 14th, 2015. It may also work today if you take into account only the first 2 digits after the decimal point, but it kind of defeats the purpose.
