- the_af 7mo agoI think that's the joke.
- names_are_hard 7mo agoI found the key insight -- when a human tries to sound like an LLM, that's perceived by other humans as humor.
- groestl 7mo agoNot sarcasm. Not cynism. Just pure humor.
- johnisgood 7mo agoOh my God, this is peak GPT.
- teaearlgraycold 7mo agoThe issue is clear
- tootubular 7mo agoBut crucially they used "--" and not "—" which means they're safe. Unless it's learning. I may still be peeved that my beloved em dash has been tainted. :(
- the_af 7mo agoOf course they'll learn. LLM bots have been spotted on HN using that hipster all lower case style of writing. i can write like this if i want. or if i were a clever ai bot.
- johnisgood 7mo agoNo need to be clever, just add the instruction to write in that way.
- cracki 7mo agoNever admit when someone else is right. They'll forget they were right and begin to think they won a fight. Or something. You're right.
- Aurornis 7mo agoIf you didn't catch it, this is a joke calling out the comment above it for using a couple obvious LLM-isms. The comment above may have been a joke, too. It's hard to tell any more.
- the_af 7mo ago> It's hard to tell any more. Wait, I think I have the answer! "You're in a desert, walking along in the sand when all of a sudden you look down and see a tortoise. It's crawling toward you. You reach down and flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over. But it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. Why is that?"
- cracki 7mo agoHm... Why? Ah! Because you are also a tortoise
- wavefunction 7mo agoTortoise have been observed righting other tortoise that have become stuck. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/DZ57D608fiM https://www.youtube.com/shorts/DZ57D608fiM (two tortoises helping a third) this has a terrible voiceover but you get the idea
- mmustapic 7mo agoThey're just questions
- cobolexpert 7mo agoWhat do you mean I'm not helping?
- the_af 7mo agoI mean you're not helping. Why is that?
