Ask an LLM to invent a new word and post it here. You will see that it simply combines words already in the training data.

- konart 5mo agoSo LLM is german?

- satvikpendem 5mo agoFunny that the replies are dead. It's true that generally we shouldn't have AI output on HN but this case is an exception as we are explicitly asking for it, so it's interesting that people still flag the replies.
- CamperBob2 5mo agoAnd this is really not OK. I've been a victim of the same filter. Dang/Tomhow, are you reading this? Would it make sense to modify your slop filter to avoid auto-flagging/killing replies that credit the LLM explicitly? Otherwise valid discussions will continue to get hosed.
- dmos62 5mo agoAre you saying comments are getting shadow banned?
- CamperBob2 5mo agoFrom what I can tell, anything that triggers some sort of AI post filter gets automatically flagged. Several posts in this thread are visible only with showdead enabled. My argument is that this rule should apply only to people who post LLM output under their own user names without acknowledgment, or otherwise post it where it doesn't belong. If the topic of a (sub)thread involves LLM output, it should be OK to cite examples without getting your post flagged.
- dmos62 5mo agoI agree. It sucks to have my good faith comment be shadow filtered, without any notice or indication.
- baq 5mo agoMathematics can be mostly boiled down to a few sentences with very lengthy possible combinations, so yeah that is not a problem
- Garlef 5mo agoWhat does "new word" even mean?

- Nevermark 5mo agoYou must be joking? Unless by combining words you mean digging deep into Latin and Greek etymology, finding something pithy and linguistically associative. I can assure you, the percentage of people who can do what they do when it comes to crafting terms, and related sets of terms, for nuanced and novel ideas is very very small. It happens this is something I do nearly every day. Models respond to the level of dialogue you have with them. Engage with an informed perspective on terminological issues and they respond with deep perspectives. I am routinely baffled at the things people say models can't do, that they do effortlessly. Interaction and having some skill to contribute helps here.
