Reminded of that episode of House where the lady with dormant syphillis had something like this.

I wonder are there any ways I can contract this without breaking marital vows

My impression is that people who think that LLMs will completely release reviewing or writing code have never really worked on anything safety critical. I'm not looking forward to the next wave of pacemaker glitches.

You act like we live in a world where companies are held sufficiently liable.

I'm wrong for that. But whenever I suggest solutions for that, police officers visit me!

Highly dependent on passage and writer imo, for anything before 1500

Some people I've had say middle english is easy enough to read now, and that's sometimes true, but if you drop some passages of Gawain or Pearl in front of people they'll be convinced it's an extra 2-300 years older. Anything non-London dialect is harder

At this stage the use this kind of rhetorical structure, whereby a series of affirmatory statements (sometimes alternatively a series of rhetorical questions) are used to hedge a following "but", is so regular and reliable a flagraiser that an article will be either propagandistic, blinded-by-science, or otherwise uncritically oleaginous towards AI, I know that I can close this article midway through already knowing that the title is both the substance of the argument and also incorrect.

And herein lies the rub: higher up in the comments we've got people Very Excited that this was co-written with a bot.

It's incredible that on Hacker News we still encounter posts by people who will or cannot differentiate mathematics from magic.

Intelligence is not magic though. The difference between intelligence and mathematics can plausibly be the same kind of difference between chemistry and intelligence.

There is Intelligence and there is Imitation of Intelligence. LLMs do the latter.

Talk to any model about deep subjects. You ll understand what I am saying. After a while it will start going around in circles.

FFS ask it to make an original joke, and be amused..

Many animals are clearly intelligent, but I can't talk to them at all.

If you understood anything about this topic you would know that imitation of intelligence requires intelligence. It's the same thing.

Give it some thought.

It has been given significant thought already. This isn't a new topic.

> After a while it will start going around in circles.

so like your average human

> FFS ask it to make an original joke, and be amused..

let's try this one on you - say an original joke

oh, right, you dont respond to strangers prompts, thus you have agency, unlike an LLM

>so like your average human

If an average human has seen and read all that is written till now, I bet that they can hold the conversation going for quite a long time...

>say an original joke

I asked an LLM if it had a good night with sweet dreams, It said, "I don't sleep and I only dream when I work!"

Human intelligence is chemistry and biology, not magic. OK, now what?

Your brain is just math implemented in wet meat.

it's also incredible we find people which can't differentiate physics/mathematics from the magic of the human brain

This is sales propaganda that should not be endorsed by sharing or further publication.

If you want to produce children that endear themselves to oleaginousness and have no concept of source verification, yes.

How would kids know if what they are taught by adults is correct? The same way they would verify what LLMs say. By repeated questions to different models and checking for consistency. My parents sent me to young earth creationist schools so don't act like people are any more reliable than Opus 4.5 or Gemini 3

I find normal prose suffocatingly boring and poorly paced so this is wonderful. I love stuff like Blood Meridian & old middle english poems with the asterisk that the length results in the difficulty bordering on turning leisure reading into a form of labour or study.
