"Combining them into one heroic speedup would make a better headline and a worse benchmark."
"The machine immediately taught me that capacity estimates are just admission tickets."
"Useful in production, poison in a kernel comparison."
Please don't publish writing like this, it's exhausting to read. You can edit that stuff out.
The best part of this is the "Five xhigh artifacts from the finished model" section at the bottom, I suggest either moving that up or at least prominently promoting it at the top of the article.
- PeterStuer 2mo agoIt has gotten so much worse over the last month. The default writing style of the Claude 5 model series in Claude Code is some sort of jiberish jargon.
- dannyw 2mo agoI find the ‘explanatory’ output style of Claude to be a bit more tolerable, but yes. Claude seems to speak and write more in Claude-speak with every release.
- cedws 2mo agoApparently we've blown way past the Turing test and approaching AGI and yet LLM-generated text still sticks out like a sore thumb. Maybe LLMs aren't that good at writing after all.
- wgd 2mo agoLLMs are great at writing, it's The Assistant who is a terrible writer. Sadly that one persona is all you get these days.
- Groxx 2mo agoI think it's fair to say they're better at a paragraph or so than most humans. And have been for quite some time, which is probably why their use in writing has exploded. Long form though? Still pretty bad. Probably getting worse in practice, as people have them write larger and larger chunks of text without paying any more attention to the result.
- binary132 2mo agoTheir use in writing has exploded because they can produce a ton of content quickly and people don’t want to put in the effort themselves, not because they are better than humans.
- mhaberl 2mo agolot of tech folks think their writing is boring and ask AI to make it more interesting or whatever llm gets them some of that sweet_llm_padding and readers smell the slop and attack the writing :) people, go write "boring stuff" - its more interesting!
