Serious question: did you use an LLM tool to craft some or all of this comment?
- finexplained 3y agoThe five paragraph format will forever be suspicious.
- adamisom 3y agoI’d be willing to bet money at 5-1 against that they didn’t. since that’s impossible to prove, I guess also on running an llm a lot of times and getting anything close to it.
- maxbond 3y agoWhat suggests to you it may have been?
- refulgentis 3y agoIt’s repeating trivialities that would be well-understood and are somewhat hyperbolic for both the audience and the real meat of the content. C.f. “Binary search has long been…”
- maxbond 3y agoI don't really see it, my experience with other LLMs is limited, but ChatGPT tends to use the rhetorical tricks you're gesturing at to speak in generalities and avoid expressing a definite opinion - it's the shallow even-handedness of a bullshitted essay, where you avoid saying something definite because you don't actually know what you're talking about. But the parts of the comment you're highlighting are specific and opinionated. And I don't find them particularly hyperbolic.

- tuukkah 3y agoNah, that's just what academic correspondense looks like.
- lucgagan 3y agouh, HN doesn't do a great job surfacing responses to comments. Had to no clue about this whole conversation!
