No. Random employees have a well-understood distribution of mostly normal human errors of certain types and estimated severity, relative to unattended LLM which has a poorly-understood distribution of errors in both type and severity. (“SolidGoldMagikarp”.)

copy&paste errors are exactly what human employees are good at. this could very easily be the result of a bad copy&paste by a human into a form. especially if the copy&paste text is in a language not understood by the human employee. to them, it might look just like one of the other hundreds of search term word salad used as titles

  • Whether it’s human or not is irrelevant to the point: human beings fail much more predictably.

    When the same search term salad is presented hundreds of times for copy paste, a human would notice and have an opportunity to ask a supervisor.

    A chatbot automation would not notice the repetition unless it had been coded to detect repetition, and/or to reject the ChatGPT refusal message.

    Ironically, it was probably an automation coded by ChatGPT.
