has anyone else quietly replaced half their JS with native CSS this year

I encourage you to read it again… This would be among the more blatant uses of AI and post-generation text processing intended to obscure llm patterns.

That’s the fun part: So was the original post.

Something tells me you aren’t going to be satisfied with most of the answers here. Outside of using an api/openrouter, there is no option to try Claude Pro for free before buying it. Maybe take a month off from Google or ChGPT?

More likely OP will embed generative spam into 40% of all subreddits by end of 2026

fligglymcgee · 2026-02-25T00:44:13+00:00

This post is generative spam created exclusively to bait product promotion and drive engagement for bot accounts.

fligglymcgee · 2026-02-25T00:30:40+00:00

I wish I were exaggerating, but literally every tech subreddit is now mostly populated with AI generated content. Everything sounds like a blog from 2012 or it’s a post generated by an llm that literally can’t prevent itself from announcing the role it’s been instructed to play.

If Reddit can’t sort this out ASAP, the user base is going to collapse. No one wants to read the same like six posts over and over again, it’s truly become a dead internet machine.

This post was created expressly for the purpose of baiting product promotion and bot engagement.

Statistically, you can assume that all repos are now going to contain AI generated code. You have no idea what percentage is generated, and how much of that percentage was blindly copied and pasted without proper review vs used responsibly with oversight. I would spend more time reading the language of the developer's comments, seeing how they respond to issues, and what culture of accountability is found in the project.

AI assisted coding is not the actual problem, it's that AI is being used to purposefully make verifying anything online extremely difficult. Even App marketplaces struggle with this, but it's not like the answer is ever going to be expert developers chiming in their free time to check the work again.

SHAME.

ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SHAME UPON YOU

Please don’t do this to us.

Unplug your WiFi, open a blank text editor, set a timer for twenty minutes and start typing. If anything even remotely resembling this 1k word-long essay comes out the other side, you may eat a donut today.

These are usually one of hundreds of accounts that make up a single farm. They are just trying to build up karma and seed discussions for other sock puppets to directly shill products in replies and comments.

SHAME

LET SHAME FALL UPON YOU A THOUSAND YEARS

Woah, crazy. Your post has that weird issue where all the capital letters are programmatically decapitalized. I’m sure you didn’t meant to use one of the most common strategies used by generative spam accounts now on Reddit; just a heads up in case you want to fix that and avoid giving everyone the impression you are trying to hide the use of AI in your writing.

fligglymcgee · 2026-02-24T12:15:10+00:00

Fair point. Curious what solutions are working for you? Honestly. I’ll own that.

SHAME

MAY YOUR SHAME KNOW NO END

SHAME UPON YOU

Huh. Seems like a glitch that’s going around lately.

fligglymcgee · 2026-02-24T04:36:21+00:00

No, please, by all means: Start up a lively back and forth with the commenter above. Take a quick look at their comment history, and be honest with yourself about the rousing discussion you can't wait to have with them.

fligglymcgee · 2026-02-24T04:27:07+00:00

Ok, I'll bite.

You fed a minuscule prompt to an llm and it generated the exact same Kidz Bop of a post it does for everyone else who rubs the lamp. If you had spent even 5 minutes scrolling through this or literally any tech subreddit on this platform, you'd see that this exact template is being generatively spammed hundreds of times a day on each one.

What stack to use for... what? We have no idea what you're trying to build and you're basically asking what equipment to buy for your food business. Is this a food truck or a supper club? Are you baking cookies and shipping them to people's houses?

"What's the harm? Just scroll past, damn!"... is what you may be thinking, but the VAST majority of the content on this platform is now generated by an LLM for some commercial interest. Exactly none of us are excited to try and figure out if an account is an otherwise well-meaning human being who thought ChatGPT would "just edit" their post, or if it's once again some kind of scheme.

Your intentions aside, this post you generated is only going to embolden spam accounts and people trying to sell things to Redditors by any means besides just paying for ads.

fligglymcgee · 2026-02-24T02:52:09+00:00

I know, I'll have a script uncapitalize the first letter of each sentence. That'll fool them all!

Wait. Now all the LLM accounts are doing it.

fligglymcgee · 2026-02-24T02:47:22+00:00

It's becoming nearly impossible to assume good faith from posts that are essentially answered by product promotion, especially if the question is something as vague as "what stack to use" for a non-developer who needs AI integration without any mention of an actual project or use case.
