This argument is not really valid anymore, especially in a paper that talks about LLMs.
- maxbond 3y agoIt's an observation, not an argument, but note that this is a paper about LLM mistakes. But if the language bothers you and you view LLMs as the solution, you're certainly free to feed it into an LLM yourself. To be frank, I find it a little off-putting to suggest being a non-native English speaker is "no longer valid."
- boxed 3y agoMaybe the previous commenter meant that they could have used an LLM to translate from Mandarin to English to get a better sentence? Which is... ironic I think :P
- clarionbell 3y agoI'm not a native english speaker. For serious work, that is, anything that may be printed or published with my real name on it, I use grammar checks. That's the least I can do.
- QuadrupleA 3y agoJust a grammar check or a proofreading pass through an LLM is all it needs. It's an English-language paper, so we e.g. separate words by spaces. Hate this modern kneejerk reaction to get preachy and supercilious whenever anything vaguely cultural comes up.

- maxbond 3y agoThere might be preaching going on here, but it's not coming from me. :)

- barbarr 3y agoI found it somewhat charming that the authors, who express skepticism about the use of LLMs by novices, indeed stuck to their views and decided not to run their phrasings through an LLM. This will probably be one of the dwindling number of papers released each year with "fairly bad" grammar - and part of me wonders if we're losing something in the process of LLM-meditated homogenization.
- mdp2021 3y ago> not really valid anymore You have to express reasons when not evident. In case, just in case (and to also show how lack of definition may trigger any weak interpretation), after suggestion from a nearby member, the idea would had been that today people could have sentences reformulated by language models: the composer intends to express a logic, so any translator would have to grasp said logic primarily and first.
