It's as if it's marketed to the students who have been using ChatGPT for the last few years to pass courses and now need to throw together a bachelor's thesis. Bibliography and proper citation requirements are a pain.

That is such a bummer. At the time, it was annoying and I groused and grumbled about it; but in hindsight my reviewers pointed me toward some good articles, and I am better for having read them.

I agree with this. This problem is only going to get worse once these people enter academia and facing needing to publish.

I'd love to see a root cause analysis post by Cloudflare for this one. The ones they do after outages are always interesting to read. How did this make it into the blog? What is the review process for these posts and what failed this time? What measures will be taken to restore Cloudflare blog's reputation?

New damage control commit just came in, removing "production grade" from README, mentioning AI assistance, and fixing the misaligned ASCII diagram. https://github.com/nkuntz1934/matrix-workers/commit/fd412f41...

Should have just nuked the whole thing to be honest, the blog post and the repo.

Agreed. And the diagrams still lack substance, IMO.

Previously someone might sketch out a purposeful one in Monodraw or something (https://monodraw.helftone.com). But only when it adds value.

Now Claude shits out this vacuous nonsense by the bucketload———but it's some interconnected boxes in a code block in a readme, so it must be good.
