The problem is more that it's an LLM-generated comment that's about 20x as long as it needed to be to get the point across.

It's not.

Evidence shows otherwise: Despite the "20x" length, many people actually missed the point.

  • Oh yeah, there is also a problem with people not noticing they're reading LLM output, AND with people missing sarcasm on here. Actually, I'm OK with people missing sarcasm on here - I have plenty of places to go for sarcasm and wit and it's actually kind of nice to have a place where most posts are sincere, even if that sets people up to miss it when posts are sarcastic.

    Which is also what makes it problematic that you're lying about your LLM use. I would honestly love to know your prompt and how you iterated on the post, how much you put into it and how much you edited or iterated. Although pretending there was no LLM involved at all is rather disappointing.

    Unfortunately I think you might feel backed into a corner now that you've insisted otherwise but it's a genuinely interesting thing here that I wish you'd elaborate on.

  • I definitely missed the point because of the length, and only realized after I read replies to your comment.

    • Next time I'll write something shorter, or if you don't believe I wrote it... then I'll tell the AI to write something shorter.

    • Its not just verbose—it's almost a novel. Parent either cooked and capped, or has managed to perfectly emulate the patterns this parrot is stochastically known best for. I liked the pro human vibe if anything.
