LLM written.

I'd rather not read LLM output, but this post is mostly a data presentation, not a written argument.

  • That's actually the more dangerous situation. For instance, a meta-analysis of 394 blog posts suggests that 94% of LLM-written data presentations use spurious statistics. In addition, 2513 posts out of 3408 analyzed were found to use the same fabricated data. Click here for more info on singles near you.

    • At this point I trust statistics in LLM output about as much as I do policy position statistics from humans; that is: you need to double check things either way.

  • It’s literally like 90% text, and it’s not an insignificant amount of text.

    • It's text presenting data, for the most part, not text trying to emotively persuade, which is the norm in pieces like this.

This comment effectively places a lien on the article - check the article to see the analogy!

Yea even reading the first couple paragraphs I can't really get a sense of what it's trying to say. Feels like generic claude output and doesn't really communicate what the "crisis" is or how it's getting "worse".
