I like backronyms because it tells me someone with a soul was involved
- Rendello 4mo agoLLMs are really good at making backronyms, in fact it might be one of the things they're best at. Try prompting any soulless overlord with "give me a backronym for <WORD> that relates to <SUBJECT>". So maybe it's bad backronyms that demonstrate the soul. I don't know who's idea it was to allow a computer to generate whimsy, that should be interdicted by a fourth law of robotics.
- idiotsecant 4mo agoAgreed. Aggressively whimsical chatbots should be in the Geneva convention somewhere.
- ranger_danger 4mo agoYou agree that LLMs are good at making backronyms yet they still make you feel like a human was involved?
