Everyone is complaining that the web site was made by AI?

Why? It looks like a hundred other web sites. The text isn't different from any other generic sales copy that humans have been doing for ever.

People are so paranoid about AI slop, that they see it everywhere, even if it was just a human. You can't tell.

Just because you personally can't spot it, doesn't mean other people can't. There are a lot of very clear tells of AI writing, and this site is full of them.

You are delusional if you think there are clear tells.

Count yourself lucky that you haven't read enough LLM generated text to spot these. Each one individually might not be a clear signal, but all together it's extremely obvious.

> Switzerland. Block by block. At 1:1 scale

> Real mountains. Real valleys. All of it walkable.

> Every block is one metre

> Your browser loads the aerial image directly from swisstopo, only once you move the slider

> If it runs on your computer, all of Switzerland will too.

> the game builds the distant view itself on first launch

> the game builds the blocks from the world package

> You pay for the licence to the world package, the world calculated from geodata

> The world, however, fills the whole rectangle around Switzerland, including parts of the neighbouring countries

> the world is built by a program from open data, not by hand

You got me. Humans never use clear short bullet points.

the literal first line is an obvious tell

"MINECRAFT JAVA 1.12.2 · CUBIC CHUNKS · SWISSTOPO"

this is such a classic llmism

Generic sales copy used to mostly just be a thing for business sites and Linkedin. I suppose since this site is trying to sell the map it basically is one.
