This reads like it was written by ChatGPT

ChatGPT was trained on text written by humans, so its not a surprise that you're confusing text written by a human with one written by ChatGPT.

  The downvotes of your comment are interesting. Regardless if it's written by AI, I think it's good evidence that humans are almost certainly going to need to modify their writing style, to appear "more human".

There are 4 comments in this thread (5 including mine) and ChatGPT is already mentioned twice. Interesting how quickly things adapt/change.

Asking ChatGPT "Why does the price of a Credit Default Swap rise?" gets you: > The price of a Credit Default Swap (CDS) rises when the market perceives an increased risk of default by the underlying entity, such as a company or government. > A CDS is a financial instrument that allows investors to protect themselves against the risk of default by an issuer of debt. The buyer of a CDS pays a premium to the seller, who agrees to pay a fixed amount in the event of a default. The price of the CDS reflects the perceived risk of default by the underlying entity. > If the market perceives an increased risk of default by the underlying entity, such as due to a weakening financial position, deteriorating economic conditions, or a downgrade in credit rating, then the price of the CDS will rise. This is because investors will demand a higher premium to compensate for the increased risk. > Conversely, if the market perceives a reduced risk of default, such as due to an improvement in the financial position or a credit rating upgrade, then the price of the CDS will fall, as investors require a lower premium to compensate for the lower risk. I think it sounds that way because it probably was!

  When I put the word 'bot' in that guideline I had in mind something quite different from LLMs - it was more about asking people not to post things like "zomg this thread is overrun by $nation bots i guess that's the end of hacker news". The community response to LLMs (including to comments that read like they were generated by an LLM) is more complex and not necessarily abusive, and I'm inclined to let it play out. So yeah, technically we should probably take the word 'bots' out of that guideline as ozarker's sibling comment suggests.
