Yeah, and that time we sacrificed nearly 1 million of our own citizens to end slavery.

> HN has a higher proportion of AI promoters than AI skeptics

You're be using a different HN than me, or you and I only pay attention to one side or the other.


And it looks fantastic.

It means the actual 'data' came from somebody who is not being compensated, acknowledged, or credited.

Do you just.. never swear?

Yeah, I find the back and forth with Claude is often better than trying to front load everything in a massive and detailed prompt.

The counter-intuitive nature of LLMs is so simultaneously interesting and frustrating. Overloading a single prompt definitely can create challenge remarkably similar to human short-term memory and attentional drift.

LLMs gain so much knowledge and capability from absorbing the symbolic relationships embedded in human language but in doing so, inevitably absorb many of the human foibles, sensitivities and weaknesses reflected in our languages.


Proper hooks prevent this from happening

I think it might be because people like to own and drive cars.

It could be the best written, most informative article they've ever read, but anti-ai folks would dismiss it as slop the moment someone told them it was written by ai.

The problem is that we don’t know if a human fact-checked it before release or if we’re the first humans reading it closely.

We don't really know that about human written text either.

Yes we do because a human literally had to write it. That’s at least one human pass and fact-check.

This is very reminiscent of the "everyone's a Russian bot" era of social media, where everyone would just lob that accusation at people without any real proof.

There is no way to prove, but what is definitely true is that many people are attempting to use LLMs on forums and otherwise.

So if you think none of these comments are written by LLMs, you're probably mistaken too.

In the end we accept that we can't tell anymore and move on (barring some biometric protocol that can't be gamed via automation)


I dunno man, the slot machine pays out like 99% of the time for me.
