Ask HN: What's a dead giveaway that content is AI generated?
2 comments
Counting the teeth and fingers used to help for images. For articles with citations, checking that they actually exist.
Overly positive, uses lots of big words to explain simple concepts, the entire post feels very sterile.
I can't quite pinpoint it, but I know when content is AI generated when I see it.

I do too, though your description covers how a lot of people actually talk to each other. I hope that some good that will come out of text generation models is that people's tolerance for verbose empty writing will go way down and we'll start valuing content.
Would you be open to put it to a test?

We're getting complaints from users about you promoting your site on HN too much. (Just to be clear, I'm talking about complaints coming from other users than ones who have been complaining in the threads, so it's a wider phenomenon.)
After looking at what you've been posting, I think it's a fair complaint. You're on the wrong side of this guideline: "Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff part of the time, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity." - https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
You're welcome here as a user, but I need to ask you to pull back on promoting your site here. If you build up a track record of making interesting/unrelated contributions on other things—that is, if you use HN as intended for a while—then it will be ok to occasionally include in your own stuff as part of the mix. But it shouldn't be the majority of what you're doing here. I should add that the same goes for everybody here; it's nothing personal.

Understood. Thank you for taking the time to inform me
I think the content is largely AI generated with some human editing. It starts off feeling pretty human but then descends into robotitude from my POV. It could be entirely AI generated in which case the injection of references is pretty impressive.
The ending lets the whole thing down tho:
"In summary, embracing both SEO and content optimization within the entity SEO framework is strategically beneficial. It equips marketers for the complex and evolving demands of digital marketing."
That para slightly hurts my brain more the longer I look at it.
A major "tell" for me is when you find language which would be "ok" in a student's essay response creeping into what are meant to be tutorials or explanations - where that kind of language really sticks out as being waffle / useless words.

Thanks. Interesting.
For what it is worth, it is entirely AI generated.
I like that you've highlighted the summary as a weak point. It is what I am focusing at the moment.
