I felt obligated to submit a fix: https://github.com/a16z-infra/reading-list/pull/9 Used Claude to fact-check and fix errors that were likely introduced by Cursor. The circle is complete.

https://github.com/a16z-infra/reading-list/commit/717b3d64d6... > [THIS IS AI GENERATED, NEED TO EDIT] The manga that asked [...] They do at least have "NEED TO EDIT" in there, but this prose was openly generated by AI as a starting point.

The list is clearly mostly machine generated but the name typo is an unlikely error for LLM to make. I'm guessing the "general editing pass" that introduced it was done by an actual human while trying to make the text flow better (less LLM-like). https://github.com/a16z-infra/reading-list/commit/f8d149495a...

That version is more sensible. Opus generated: > Warning: his endings are notoriously abrupt, like a segfault in the middle of your favorite function. In commit e4d022[0], the wording changed to: > Fair warning: most of these books famously don't have endings (they literally stop mid-sentence during a normal plot arc). It's unclear what led to that change, as the commit message is just "stephenson". It went through a few more minor edits to get to what's currently published. https://github.com/a16z-infra/reading-list/commit/e4d022d592...

Since the commit history is public, there's a much easier way to tell that AI had a hand in writing that list. https://github.com/a16z-infra/reading-list/commit/93bc3abb04... > opus descriptions in cursor, raw
