> And this is the gate that lets me sleep: a story only auto-publishes if the editor says PASS, the risk score is comfortably low, a hero image exists, and it has at least one source
I've read more than a handful of AI-generated articles on HN recently. The last one even had a fake author with a fake face. despite the site insisting it had human editors and reviews. The web property was created by a marketing/AI agency from (AFAIK) a European country with zero employees credentialed to edit hard science news articles, also zero employees with English names and faces like the supposed author.

Let's be fair, it's possible to reach the footer! You keep pressing the end key for like a minute or two and 665 requests (with embedded base64 encoded images and all) later, you have your footer.
So saying it's possible to reach the footer would be technically correct - the best kind of correct!
I "love" infinite scroll on websites where important links like finding a way to contact customer support for help is only in the footer that you can never reach.
But the hero image is an AI homage to cute paper-craft, to remind us that people cannot or will not put in that level of effort any more, so it's okay!
No agency. Just a one man shop. What kind of vibecoded website is this? It's a Replit built site along wtih my 20 years of experience building websites from scratch. It was launched this month, so it's a bit rough around the edges, but we're off to a great start.
Because I didn't read that thread? Last week I was at a conference, so I spent relatively little time on HN.
That said, I likely wouldn't have read that thread even today. I prefer engaging more deeply with fewer stories.
Another new AI benchmark result is of little interest to me, in contrast to a story about Microsoft stalling or even partially reversing the GitHub Azure migration.
There are so many bad and false assumptions baked into your short comment, it's hard to begin. For instance: in what world does someone have provide justification for their critique of an AI-written website, because they didn't happen to respond to some previous post?
- the worst infinite scroll I've ever seen making it impossible to access the footer
- the title tag doesn't seem to work properly (just shows the URL in the tab title, on Chrome and Firefox)
- 2007-style keyword stuffing in meta keywords
- the entire page is client-side react with a completely empty body?
The agency that built it even proudly states on their website that they vibecode everything: https://gradientnoise.com/
EDIT: Turns out, the articles are mostly AI-generated as well? https://blog.ryanmerket.com/how-i-built-runtimewire-a-one-pe...
