Really hard to take your comment serious when the only post on dvt.name is a hello world page, because at least OP is trying to publish and you are lacking moral high ground to judge him thinking LLM writing is good.
- dvt 5mo agoLol my blog was hacked recently and I've been lazy about moving my backed-up mySQL DB to the new WP installation. Not sure where moral high ground enters the picture. If I really wanted to be an asshole, I'd cite a book I co-wrote and another I edited.
- gchamonlive 5mo ago> Honestly, I can't fathom thinking that LLM writing is even remotely passable. People that think this should honestly read more. How do you think the author of the page would read this? That sounded pretty asshole-like for me. If it's not for you I'm really sorry for you, you must have to endure really screwed up people.
- dvt 5mo agoMaybe you're right and I was a bit too snarky, apologies to the author if he/she was offended. Writing anything implies some vulnerability, and criticism should be constructive.
- gchamonlive 5mo agoI know, and we've all been there. It's comfortable to criticize, only when I had a very divisive publication hit front page that I've seen how hurtful dismissive or sarcastic comments can be (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45277346 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45277346) And sorry about your blog :/ didn't know it was hacked. Looking at the comment section of the hello world though it gets pretty obvious LOL. You should consider removing it from your HN about though.
- jvanderbot 5mo agoOh if I had a nickle for every web domain I bought and put a hello-world.html into s3 and never checked again ... FWIW, I'm with GP. It's quite easy to get just mind-numbingly tired reading beyond the first two sentences of a typical LLM output, let alone on something I'm familiar with.
- gchamonlive 5mo agoIt's on dvt about page in HN, so hardly something hidden. People are different, and in the blog post itself the author writes that in time he became tired of the way LLM wtites
- jvanderbot 5mo agoI'm trying to playfully divert away from the captious and unhelpful comment, but if you want to double down, that's ok too. Cheers, my dude, have a good Thursday.
- gchamonlive 5mo agoSure whatever, why even bother commenting if you didn't want to engage then. I don't owe you anything just because you were trying to cheerfully diverge. Same to you though, have a nice day
