I really appreciate you speaking up. Happened yesterday on GPT Image 2, bit my tongue b/c people would see it as fun policing, and same thing today. And it happens on every. single. LLM. release. thread.
It's disruptive to the commons, doesn't add anything to knowledge of a model at this point, and it's way out of hand when people are not only engaging with the original and creating screenfuls to wade through before on-topic content, but now people are creating the thread before it exists to pattern-match on the engagement they see for the real thing. So now we have 2x.
No more disruptive than this comment. If you don't like it, downvote and move on. It's on topic and doesn't contradict the rules. The reason you see Simon's comment on the top is because people like it and upvote it.
Our comments are no more disruptive, so we shouldn't write them. The other comments are at most as disruptive & fine.
Something seems off when I combine those premises.
You also make a key observation here: the root comment is fine and on-topic. The the replies spin off into nothing to do with the headline, but the example in the comment. Makes it really hard to critique with coming across as fun police.
Also, worth noting there's a distinction here, we're not in simonw's thread: we're in a brand new account's imitation of it.
