Ironically ChatGPT would have made whatever point the author was trying to make (I’m not really sure what the point was to be honest…) much more succinctly and clearly. Maybe one use of ChatGPT as an anti-bloviating converter.

- kweingar 3y agoChatGPT would have used simpler words, but it bloviates like hell. It’s one of the reasons that people on HN can usually spot and downvote ChatGPT-generated comments: they go on and on for multiple paragraphs when their point can be made in one or two sentences, and they go to great lengths to hedge everything they say.
- eynsham 3y agoI’m not sure that the point can be made much more succinctly, although I agree the original wasn’t written very understandably. I’ve reformulated my point at greater length in response to the sibling. I’ve tried GPT on some topics in philosophy of language, and it hasn’t really done particularly well. I don’t have any strong reason to think that such limitations will either persist or be overcome, however.
