If this is the startup that finally unleashes AI spam bot articles and comments to the top of HackerNews, I'm gonna quit the internet and move into a log cabin.

  It doesn't matter whether you use AI or not, what matters is whether your articles are relevant and useful or not

    no, for copyright and other social agreements, there has to be a declaration of authorship for original works.. maybe others can expand and clarify; certainly will vary on the major marketplaces in the world

      > for copyright and other social agreements, there has to be a declaration of authorship for original works It's the Internet - we never cared about such things here. Attribution and linking, yes. "Copyright" and "authorship of original works" - are you sure you're not a legacy publisher desperate to insert itself into the free exchange of knowledge and put up a toll gate? :). I'm joking, but only a little. Unless you actually believe LLMs sin against the Church of Intellectual Property with every token they produce, this complaint feels out of place in context of a blog post summarizing research work done in the open. There are situations in which one could try to argue LLMs violate rights of some authors, but this isn't one of such situations.

        your clown talk ? yeah probably not copyrightable The US copyright system is not a one-line profane insult topic, to me.. we are different, yes

        Hey, the more clownish I talk, the better chance I have at getting it protected as original work!

  It was already the case that no one reads the article before commenting. Soon it will be that no one writes the article either.

    Just need AI to write the comments and the circle of life will be complete

      Or we just skip the middlemen and exchange our prompts instead. Back to the core issue - apparently few people took a long enough look at the article to notice it was co-written by AI; i.e. there were human editors in the loop. Sure, the format is a bit off-putting, but that's IMO mostly because nobody can be arsed to write like that, even if their own thesis supervisor told them they should, as proper structuring makes it easier for the reader to understand a complex topic. Anyway, point is, I personally have no issue with people using AI to improve their texts - LLMs already are better at writing than most people anyway. Just as long as the saved effort is put into ensuring the content itself is valuable and communicated well.

I loved bullet points before AI was a thing. Now I'm accused of being AI.
