It applies to HN too, the vast majority of comments probably don't have more than, at most, a few minutes of serious, focused, thinking behind them.
And with how good LLMs nowadays, probably a numerical majority don't even contain anything worth noting.
- squigz 3y agoDo you have any sort of data to support this, particularly the second claim? It seems particularly absurd to me.
- MichaelZuo 3y agoThe comments are the data? I'm not really sure what your asking for.
- squigz 3y agoWell I suppose you're making your own point.
- MichaelZuo 3y agoYou are helping me prove the point with conveniently placed examples, so thanks. But why embarrass yourself?
- unethical_ban 3y agoI think it's insulting to say that human opinion or observation is worthless because a small program with a neat dataset can answer a lot of questions. It's like saying that talking with friends about history and engineering is boring because wikipedia has the answers.
- MichaelZuo 3y agoWhy did your mind immediately jump to 'worthless'? Plenty of things in this world have some small value but are not noteworthy. In fact most conversations in daily life fall into that category.
