Did you use ChatGPT/an LLM for this comment or do you just write Like That?
- otikik 1y agoIt does read very chatgpt-y
- bluefirebrand 1y agoLLMs had to learn from somewhere, a lot of internet comments write Like That
- hooverd 1y agoIt's very jarring when you see it nowadays, and rather unfortunate for people who have that style of writing.
- lukan 1y agoBut maybe less and less will, if all it gets them nowdays are accusations of using/being an LLM.
- Macha 1y agoI've often written lists of bullet points with bolded headings and nowadays every time I do I feel I have to say that it's not written by chatgpt
- formerphotoj 1y agoAnd, "I'm not a cat." (Except sometimes maybe as a NPC)
- bcrosby95 1y agoJust wait until your LLM starts accusing you of being an LLM
- max_on_hn 1y agoChatGPT was sticky for me very early because its writing style reminded me of my own ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- disillusionist 1y agoI just Write Like That. It always takes me longer to write things than intended because I tend to overthink things, too. :/
- hooverd 1y agoIt was a good comment!
- zahlman 1y agoFor what it's worth: having seen that someone else suspected ChatGPT usage, and reading it again, I can understand what sorts of heuristics it might have tripped. But on overall intuition, I didn't get that impression on a first read.
- fc417fc802 1y agoIf LLMs had the necessary theory of mind to model context well enough to write the comment in question the world would be a very different place. Writing style and fitting in to the context are entirely different things. LLM responses tend to give me the vibe of a disengaged office worker who isn't emotionally present and lacks a proper mental model of the topic. It's been shocking to me to witness how frequently people around me IRL fail to notice such writing.
- zahlman 1y ago> Writing style and fitting in to the context are entirely different things. Absolutely — which goes a long way towards how I make the judgment myself, now that you say it. Although it's still hard to be precise about. (One positive impact that LLMs indirectly had on my life is that they motivated me to look up ways to type em-dashes more easily. I now have my caps lock key mapped as a compose key, and a custom compose-key mapping for it.) > It's been shocking to me to witness how frequently people around me IRL fail to notice such writing. To notice, they'd have to themselves be engaged, I suppose. Or at least have some idea about the subject matter.
- y-curious 1y agoWelcome to the erosion of trust we are seeing live. Soon we won't trust anything outside of a speaker we can touch physically.
