Is this article AI generated or something? There are constant grammatical errors throughout it and the pacing in general is difficult to follow. I'm struggling to actually read it, tripping up at each sentence. Just look at this paragraph.

"In recent years we have seen how many games have had a catastrophic launch, in many cases, caused by performance problems due to not being well optimized, but this has not been the only cause of these problems. And anti-piracy systems consume a large amount of our resources. PCmaking it very difficult to optimize a game when you have to take into account third-party software."

In my admittedly limited experience, LLMs don't make that many grammatical mistakes. This is likely just bad work from a human.

[-] JustARegularNerd@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

That's what throws me through a loop, because my experience with LLMs is the same. I just can't fathom that a human did this, its just nothing but waffle.

Yeah, i dont know whats the deal with Alessandro, while i apreciate all the content he brings he seems more like a bot just sharing stuff from an rss feed he doesnt even read, he can even repost the same article from different websites sometimes.

I thought the same, and made a similar comment. alessandro replied veey shortly, proving (beyond a reasonable doubt) that he was a human.

However, he posts gaming stories incessantly, and without regard to whether they're worth posting; nor does he bother reading what he posts. So while not a bot, I'm filing him under 'karma whore.'

More likely autotranslated.

It wasnwritten in a different language, then machine-translated.

It's so much waffle it sorta doesn't even matter. Super dodgy site.

The last twenty years of CPU optimization have been cache improvements and Denuvo is a cache defeat device.

And the article reads like AI generated text.

I've never installed a single game with this crap in it & haven't missed a fucking thing.

AI generated or just crap? You decide!
