Why was this written by a LLM?
- mikestorrent 2mo agoThat's the smoking gun -- he was absolutely right. It's not ice cream, it's slop!
- seszett 2mo agoIt's a general feeling more than a precise diagnosis, and I guess it could also be a human that has internalised LLM style, or a human-written draft that was reworded by an LLM. But it just really feels like LLM writing.
- freak42 2mo agoBut you wrote that it's a fact? That's not just a "general feeling"?
- seszett 2mo agoI wrote that because I wanted to avoid a sterile discussion on whether or not my comment was valid because the article was not written by a human. As I said, the actual remark I made is independent on whether this article was written by an LLM or not. It's still pretty obvious to me that it was, but I'm not sure what kind of "proof" you are looking for, you know as well as I do that it can't be proven one way or the other, so who cares?
- freak42 2mo agoI do care. Of course I know it can't be proven. But you could know the author,bwhat do I know. I just don't understand why people claim factual knowledge when they don't. It rubs me the wrong way and rightly so.

- razmatazzle 2mo agoI dunno. That's a "When did you stop beating your wife" question. Unless you can show me some sort of "proof" this is LLM writing, it doesn't read that way to me. And I read a lot of obviously LLM-generated content. I'm 100% sure it was cleaned up by an LLM, because I don't see any glaring mistakes (grammar, spelling, article mistmatch, etc.). But it doesn't have that "prompt-> article" AI-slop feel to me. And some of the lines, like the ice cream frog being boiled, are things you'd never have an LLM suggest. IF you can "prove" otehrwise, I'm all ears (eyes).
