Why? LLMs are not humans.

Or you could have read it more closely before posting a comment saying it didn't make sense. You know, the old school way.

What does this have to do with Vim?

They can be in the training set but not deliberately trained for. There may be a lot of people posting pelican svgs, but not typically because they're high quality and worth replic…

Absolutely. While we're at it, why should asbestos be regulated? You can just not go in buildings that have it.

"Nuanced discussion" doesn't necessarily mean the sort one would have with a human. Statistical apologies are never going to be meaningful. One could edit nonsense into the context…

This is entirely irrelevant. The problem is that anybody can make a Microsoft Form and there's no obvious indication that it's a form from Github without digging around.

Those are just hyphens, actually. En dashes are for ranges (e.g., 1–4, which is admittedly hard to distinguish from 1-4), not compound words. Point stands though—LLMs do love compo…

It is upsetting. Is it worth surrendering one's practice of thinking and communicating effectively in order to resist corporate overreach? Or is such a neglect doomed to result in …

"${name}: ${features.join(", ")}" This is in the very first example you see on the site. If it's a mistake, that's not encouraging. If this is actually how the language works, that…

It felt very strange to me that the author construes belief in the hard problem as some sort of spiritual baggage from unempirical religious view. He seems to want to pit the "new …

There's an irony to people repeating this claim without even having read the Phaedrus. If they had, they'd understand that the concern with writing was that it was not able to resp…

It's especially hard to express "happiness" across languages. It's a word that is hard to define and generally has no perfect synonyms between languages. It ranges broadly from "pr…

Your ellipsis leaves out the answer to your question. The paragraph is contrasting "ChatGPT says" which is annoying, but transparent (as LMGTFY), with "sloppypasta" which includes …

It can be both. I went through a very similar experience with school -- it was miserably boring to me, and I found solace in valuable and educational experiences I sought out mysel…

Short stories. At my high school (from which I graduated a few years ago) practically no one read anything assigned. Yet I observed in a short story class I took that at least the …

This is reductive. It's true that interest conquers inattention, but the attention span crisis really represents a prioritization of exploitation over exploration. That is to say t…

If you really care about something, screen addiction does not interfere. A friend of mine has a terrible Instagram addiction, yet has developed for himself a certain degree of cine…

To be fair, the alt-input is a generalized system for inputting Unicode characters outside the set keyboard layout. So it's not like they added this input specifically. Still, the …

I think it's mainly a matter of clarity as long embedded clauses without obvious visual delimiting can be hard to read and thus are discouraged in professional writing aiming for e…

As it stands I don't know what this poll means. Does "No AI" mean that generative AI should never be used or offered? Does "Yes AI" mean that generative AI should be used for every…

Also consider Aristotle who recognized the habituative nature of the self much earlier.

I'm not intending to say it's acceptable for professors to use AI entirely in their grading. They obviously ought to contribute. I realize I actually misread your original comment,…

Too bad. The premise should be that the instructor, by nature of having the position, already has understanding of the subject. As a student, you do not, and your goal is to gain i…
