A mere opinion is not mental illness.

• potsandpans 6mo ago
  I wasn't suggesting you have a mental illness for having an opinion. More, commenting that just as bad as generated content if not worse is every thread where the top comment is an accusation and ensuing witch hunt. So, no, having an opinion is not a mental illness. Feeling compelled to call it out and discuss it on everything one reads may just be.

    The threads that have the top comment saying "this is AI slop" are nearly always about an article that is obvious AI slop. Threads that aren't - like this one - don't.

      If you need to tell yourself that in order to cope that's fine with me.

        I’m thinking that I may actually prefer undetectable AI slop to human comments like that. I do agree with your upthread comments.

        Which part do you disagree with?

  Was that written by an LLM? It isn't that it's a mere opinion, it's that when every word out there has to be scrutinized for the possibility that an AI output it instead of a human intelligence that it gets pathological. Am I an LLM with the right prompts set up to respond this way? I mean, I know I'm not, but everyone else out there is just going to have to trust me that I'm not.
