Earlier quoted context omitted.

This is like a mental tarpit, where you waste time reading trying to understand what the person is saying only to realize they were a bot and all your effort was for nothing, that is time you will never get back now. This is a terrifying way to destroy an online community if a person floods it with nonsense content like this.

Terrifying -> inevitable. Imagine a botnet full of fake AI users trained with a corpus of legit HN posts. Let them loose commenting on random articles, beginning slowly but ramping up until they’re 99% of all comments. In a few years, the standard Silicon Valley “Growth Hacking” job description will include using AI to deploy fake content to your competitors’ sites, destroying their user community.

Ugh. Like SV hasn't yet made the internet suck enough...

I created this site using a Fast.ai trained language model using the Stack Overflow data dump.

How does this compare to the gpt by openai https://github.com/openai/gpt-2 ?

It’s a different model, the AWD_LSTM. The inventor of this model spoke about GPT-2 on this podcast and talked a bit about the differences: https://overcast.fm/+Goog4jsR8

"I have creating a PNG Image file where I am printing out the image's with different colors and Image Types. Now I am sure I am drawing properly, but what I'm seeing is that the image is not differently jpeg (ie FF or Chrome) and Safari (for Firefox) is different from the one in Firefox.

The experience you are describing reminds me of the comparative illusion [0], which is a grammatical illusion where certain sentences seem grammatically correct when you read them, but upon further reflection actually make no sense, example: "More people have been to Berlin than I have." [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparative_illusion

Fascinating. There's a sentence I picked up from a friend in childhood, "Although the Moon is only an eighth the size of the Earth, it is much farther away," which seems to be similar, but not quite a CI, if I'm reading the Wikipedia article correctly. Thanks for the link.

A: Dear Charset, I hope this might resolve your issue.

"View from View to View, Need to open this new View in View" https://stackroboflow.com/#!/question/4781 A common problem for everyone, i'm sure.

I got a surprisingly comprehensible (and similarly recursive) ListView question: https://stackroboflow.com/#!/question/15327 .

Similarly this one: https://stackroboflow.com/#!/question/19297

Sounds like jumpstarting your userbase would be easy, once you allow users to define other users :)

Excellent! It's great when it tries to generate code: https://stackroboflow.com/#!/question/8138 (the last line here made me laugh)

This one looks like a genuine java program.

``` Cat cat = new Cat(); Cat cat = new 2nd Cat ");" ```

This looks absolutely amazing! I would be very curious to know how you went about conceptualizing the project and the AI beneath. Do you have a blogpost on it or planning to write one?

Yep, there's a writeup on the site: https://stackroboflow.com/about/index.html
