I think the main tell is that it says basically nothing, it reads like a human that is paid per word. Humans prefer easy to read articles that doesn't hide the point behind such fluff, so there is no reason to do it except just to spam

Studies showed wikipedia was about as accurate as encyclopedias, so that fear was already debunked. That is not true for LLM, LLM are much less accurate than encyclopedias still since there is no limit to how far you can push them while enc

Rule 3 was true 1989, back then computers were so slow and had barely any ram so most things you did only was reasonable for small number of inputs. Today we almost always have large amounts of inputs so its different.

But an intelligent being could learn that, do you think they become more intelligent if you tell them things are made out of atoms? To me the answer is very simple, no they don't become more intelligent.
