Hacker News Reader

I know what you mean. Flowery and fluffy. I don't see any clear giveaways, but it feels like it and is a bit annoying to read because the information in there isn't very dense.

I saw a great video on YouTube by languagejones, and he asks: do we have to tell the difference between an LLM and an idiot?

The writing is just bad. I think this is clear to everyone, so I guess we could stop at that

the "why it matters" subtitle near the end seems very much like claude to me

That falls into the general category of 'authority groping' (yes, I coin my own terms) where a prediction engine without real reasoning, must apply numerous tricks to convey confidence, authority and substance where there may be less or none. Similar to the constant negative-propositions or "not" statement, where usually one to three things that do not apply are articulated, which has the result of credibility accumulation, I suppose, by showing "hey, I am right about not just one thing, but four!" hence the saturated styles we tend to see.
