Please strictly cease and desist from accusing material of being written by an LLM, whether on this site or on any other site. If you want to criticize the material, do so under the good faith assumption that it is written by a human.
I think it’s absolutely fair to criticize something for potentially being generated via an llm or heavily utilized by such especially when it comes to medial claims.
Reading it I couldn’t help but feel the author relied on ai research tools and is now passing that along to everyone reading as if it’s proven fact. When they link out to an ai search engine that’s not helpful when trying to cite sources.
No. It is false criticism. It is like calling one a witch in historical times. Anyone gets accused of it without hard evidence. For all I know, your comment was AI generated. You relied on AI and are now passing that along. It's not helpful.
We don't really know the author. For all I know, the LLM is more accurate than the specific human, in which case I'd want the article to be written by an LLM.
Saying "LLM bad, human good" is both false and uninteresting.
Genuinely, why? More people than ever are using LLMs to flood the internet with textual slop far faster than humans who have respect for the craft of writing can generate their own text.
I checked Jared Hecht (the author of this piece’s blog) at jared.xyz and the oldest piece is from March 2023. Why should we give someone who has no evidence of writing anything before the release of ChatGPT the benefit of the doubt that their work is all human written, when all signs point to otherwise?
Because the signs are only in your head. There is no hard evidence. It is a disingenuous and false way to attempt to discredit someone. Anyone can be accused of it for writing anything at all. The argument that the writing started after the invention of ChatGPT is simply horrible because everyone starts sometime.
It's like calling someone a witch in historical times. By the way, your comment looks to be AI generated, so please do us a favor and stop generating more slop.
Of course there is no "hard evidence" unless someone leaves evidence of the prompt or AI response in their blog post. There are certain clues and syntax. Your comment seems like it would fit in much better on Reddit than on HN.
Negative. You're the one making unproven bad-faith assertions, trying to discredit someone on the basis of witch-hunting logic. Your comment belongs nowhere.
