Agreed. This is genuinely interesting content, but there is no doubt in my mind that "The two operations diverge on real characters—ß, İ, final sigma—which is why lowercasing as a stand-in silently produces wrong matches." is LLM output.
Are we doomed to spend the rest of our professional and personal lives reading AI output?
- inigyou 2mo agoYes. > This is genuinely interesting Are you sure you're not an LLM yourself?
- agency 2mo agoI thought I wasn't, but you're making me second-guess myself.
- perching_aix 2mo agoIt's just like when you're about to leave the store and suddenly wonder if you haven't accidentally left a 55" TV stashed into your backpocket. Gets me every time. :)
- throwaway17_17 2mo agoHas this become a ‘smell’? I tend to start my HN comments that are going be negative with versions of this, or my habitual “Genuine question, ..”; but if this is going to flag readers’ internal LLM-detector I will have to find some other way to indicate I’m actually interested in a dialogue (versus the shit posting that a more brief reply might signal). I was talking with a junior at the office today about LLM output and mentioned em dashes, to which responded “oh, I thought that was just where formatting for hyphens was going, I guess I learned something from the AI writing instead of the other way around” and god, his acceptance of it was just deprrsssing.
- inigyou 2mo agoYes, they say genuinely and honestly a lot. Because RLHF thinks that means they're genuine and honest.
- genxy 2mo agoAs soon as I know something is AI output, I start scanning, compressing and skipping things because I know it is full of filler, bogus connectives that are there just to punch the reader in the face. Strait to the summarization chamber with you!
