I suspect this is AI generated, but it’s quite high quality, and doesn’t have any of the telltale signs that most AI generated content does. How did you generate this? It’s great.
- CamperBob2 9mo agoIt's bizarre. The same account was previously arguing in favor of emergent reasoning abilities in another thread ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46453084 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46453084 ) -- I voted it up, in fact! Turing test failed, I guess. (edit: fixed link)
- habinero 9mo agoWe need a name for the much more trivial version of the Turing test that replaces "human" with "weird dude with rambling ideas he clearly thinks are very deep" I'm pretty sure it's like "can it run DOOM" and someone could make an LLM that passes this that runs on an pregnancy test
- threethirtytwo 9mo agoI thought the mockery and sarcasm in my piece was rather obvious.
- CamperBob2 9mo agoPoe's Law is the real Bitter Lesson.
- CamperBob2 9mo ago(edit: removed duplicate comment from above, not sure how that happened)
- threethirtytwo 9mo agoIt's a formal sarcasm piece.
- undeveloper 9mo agothe poster is in fact being very sarcastic. arguing in favor of emergent reasoning does in fact make sense
- threethirtytwo 9mo agoYour intuition on AI is out of date by about 6 months. Those telltale signs no longer exist. It wasn't AI generated. But if it was, there is currently no way for anyone to tell the difference.
- comp_throw7 9mo ago> But if it was there is currently no way for anyone to tell the difference. This is false. There are many human-legible signs, and there do exist fairly reliable AI detection services (like Pangram).
- threethirtytwo 9mo agoI've tested some of those services and they weren't very reliable.
- CamperBob2 9mo agoIf such a thing did exist, it would exist only until people started training models to hide from it. Negative feedback is the original "all you need."
- int_19h 9mo agoThere are no reliable AI detection services. At best they can reliably detect output from popular chatbots running with their default prompts. Beyond that reliability deteriorates rapidly so they either err on the side of many false positives, or on the side of many false negatives. There's already been several scandals where students were accused of AI use on the basis of these services and successfully fought back.
- velox_neb 9mo ago> It wasn't AI generated. You're lying: https://www.pangram.com/history/94678f26-4898-496f-9559-8c4c3114c7d8/ https://www.pangram.com/history/94678f26-4898-496f-9559-8c4c... Not that I needed pangram to tell me that, it's obvious slop.

- AstroBen 9mo agoTheir comments are full of "it's not x, it's y" over and over. Short pithy sentences. I'm quite confident it's AI written, maybe with a more detailed prompt than the average I guess this is the end of the human internet
- 4k93n2 9mo agoyea, i was suspicious by the second paragraph but was sure once i got to "that’s not engineering, it’s cosplay"
- plaguuuuuu 9mo agoI've had that exact phrase pop up from an LLM when I asked it for a more negative code review
- AstroBen 9mo agoIt's also the wording. The weird phrases "Glorified Google search with worse footnotes" what on earth does that mean? AI has a distinct feel to it
- lxgr 9mo agoAnd with enough motivated reasoning, you can find AI vibes in almost every comment you don’t agree with. For better or worse, I think we might have to settle on “human-written until proven otherwise”, if we don’t want to throw “assume positive intent” out the window entirely on this site.
- testdelacc1 9mo agoDude is swearing up and down that they came up with the text on their own. I agree with you though, it reeks of LLMs. The only alternative explanation is that they use LLMs so much that they’ve copied the writing style.
- prussia 9mo agoTo give them the benefit of the doubt, people who talk to AI too much probably start mimicking its style.
