I'm happy to have learned about the chiasmus thing, I hadn't seen that before. In general, better writing, including the use of rhetorical devices, is what gets attention. It's better than some clickbait. Personally I though the use of symbols was a distraction (spurred some useless comments) but maybe that did attract people.
My take is that the argument boils down to saying that overfitting is a thing in LLMs too, but it comes in at the prompting phase. That's almost obviously correct, but I hadn't seen it voiced explicitly before.
The addition of "scam" in the title was a bit of hyperbole, which is probably responsible for a lot of the views and responses.
Anyway, it seems to have triggered a lot of very reactive and defensive takes, which isn't surprising but also isn't really necessary.

- version_five 3y agoIn a vacuum yes, but the rhetorical device in question isn't really a standard clickbaity one is it, it's more literary. It's also logical for good writing to attract more views.
