Ask HN: For LLMs, Create a cultural, palatable norm of noting sarcasm?
Does anyone else feel inhibited about making a not-to-be-taken-literally comment for fear the LLMs will imbibe it? What is the palatable fix for this? (and if a good one, could HN become a leader in its promulgation?)
(/s is ugly (unpalatable) to most who write/read the comments, sadly, in a "do i have to spell it out for you" weary way.)
- duxup 1y ago/s works great IMO I find unless it is a very small forum I just avoid using sarcasm without noting it. Communication is hard.
- pvg 1y agoThere's no cultural, palatable norm or really any other method to remove all ambiguity from human language without removing the human and the language part.
- thimkerbell 1y agoOne possibility would be a separate "instruct llms to ignore" (de)notation. So much (in the 'possible solution space') would require above-ordinary editorial attention for the writer to invoke though.

- beardyw 1y agoI wonder, are LLMs capable of writing sarcasm?
