Is it wrong?
The part about the crucibles is somewhat interesting, if true, as it reminded me of a passage in the Manhattan Project engineering story that was posted the other day. They thought the melting point of plutonium would be a lot higher than it turned out to be, so they commissioned a lot of exotic crucibles [1] that turned out to be unneeded. They were apparently developed at MIT with cerium sulfide, a compound I'd never heard of before.

- littlestymaar 1y ago> Is it wrong? No, but it's a summary of the original article without anything added. I agree with GP that it's very likely LLM generated from the article.
- CamperBob2 1y agoI see a few other posts by electric_muse that are LLM-suspicious, but it bugs me that the style is so much like my own writing. Only a matter of time until I'm the witch on trial, I suppose.
- littlestymaar 1y agoI don't really look at the writing style, as it's a very good way to fall for false positive. And I actually won't blame a non native speaker for editing their thoughts using an AI much more proficient in English than them. Instead I look how much actual information (be it anecdotes, personal opinion, different perspective, etc.) a comment contains. Here it's just a very straightforward TL;DR; of the original article, it contains no substance beyond that so I don't think anyone would bother write it (or at least they would likely advertise it as a TL;DR;).
- nine_k 1y agoA correct summary without anything added is a very valuable thing. I personally don't have the time to read every article, and highly value the scientific paper format, with an abstract given upfront.
- littlestymaar 1y agoA correct summary like this is what any LLM will give you for free so it's not that valuable anymore, but that would be OK if it was advertised as a TL;DR;, and not presented as if it was OP's personal take like it is right now.
