Weird to care about a harmless construction along with punctuation.

Construction paired with punctuation is literally the entire point of written communication.

  • No it's just the medium. The point is to communicate.

    You can test this quite easily, by checking and hopefully realizing that you in fact can understand written documents with syntax errors, emails with typos and road signs with improper casing or sentence construction.

weirder still to immerse your brain in sewage and take pride in your lack of discernment.

If you participate in certain online communities where posts used to generally share real ideas and ask real beginner questions, you get tired of it. I am especially tired of seeing "it's not X - it's Y" on /r/MachineLearning posts, claiming that they've found some "geometry" or basic PyTorch code which they think will solve AI hallucinations. And it's becoming clear these people are not just doing this sort of a thing on a whim, but spending days in delusional conversations with the AI.
