I think it is, if you look at the user’s comment history it seems to alternate between GPT style and a more natural human HN style.

  I’ve noticed this pattern among both HN and Reddit accounts, though for the life of me I can’t understand why. Surely the person recognizes that their ChatGPT generated replies are nothing like their actual writing? And that it’s very obvious when they’re using prompted text with no custom instructions…

  You’d expect a product advertised as intelligent and potentially world ending can do better than a template engine squirting ‘${context} ${solution|answer} ${conclusion|disclaimer}’. Because that how text generators sound like - so easy to detect.

    It doesn't really have anything to do with being a "text generator". GPT-4 sounds like a bland robot butler because that's exactly what post-training reinforcement learning make it sound like. It's intentional.

  Yes, I work on systems that integrate LLMs and search technologies and frequently test whether or not what is said might be better run through an LLM. I don't post things randomly, however. Sometimes the output is good enough to post, sometimes (clearly) it isn't. However, it's not my default behavior.
