If it's really trained exclusively off of HN comments, I expect most of the bot's responses will evade the actual question but spend several paragraphs debating the factual specifics of every possible related tangential point, followed by an thinly-veiled insult questioning the user's true motivations.
- Aromasin 4y agoIf you're not arguing over the semantics, rather than OP's clear-enough intent, are you really on HN?

- heleninboodler 4y agoIn no way does a typical HN comment debate every possible related tangential point. Do we expect a modicum of intellectual rigor? Yes. But to say every tangent is followed and scrutinized is simply factually untrue. And several paragraphs? I challenge you to show even a large minority of argumentative responses that veer into "several" paragraphs. You characterize this as "most of the ... responses" but I think that's unfair. One wonders why you'd resort to such hyperbole unless you were deliberately attempting to undermine the value of the site.

- rocho 4y agoIt's not trained at all. The bot finds relevant comments and then uses OpenAI's API to summarize them.
