Earlier quoted context omitted.

Can’t believe the abstract has an em dash, a “not X but Y” and a “rule of three” in the first sentence . This is ridiculous.

The reference implementation of slop :) Speaking of which, does anyone know a resource that lists these "tells"? I used to notice them all the time, but now that they've permeated 2/3rds of what I see and hear, I'm starting to go a bit numb.

Another one besides Wikipedia

Whenever I put a whitepaper in notebooklm and ask it to create a presentation etc explaining the main points, it illustrates the obvious, easy to understand things in the brief, and misses (or oversimplifies) most of the hard technical parts..

Well if you can't judge, doesn't it make your comment completely useless?

No, I don't think OP's comment is useless. It's not just a blanket statement, "Wow, LLM's quick", but also critically reflective, like a brief limitations section. This opens the discussion, by indirectly posing questions like, "Is it really this fast or "cheating"? How could we measure this experimentally? Etc.

It's useless because this is not novel at this point, its literally everyone posting on HN - I did a thing with an LLM but idk if its good! That doesn't open up the discussion, it retreads the exact same discussion that both sides are not listening to each other on.

The abstract is AI generated and pretty poorly written at that. A paper about grading AI output doesn’t even grade their own abstract.

Can’t believe the abstract has an em dash, a “not X but Y” and a “rule of three” in the first sentence . This is ridiculous.

Every time I see people complaining about clear writing with signposts, I feel like I'm in Idiocracy.

You might have unaddressed writing trauma. Just because the abstract isn't dogshit, doesn't mean it isn't templatized mad sloplibs. The numbers, the framing, the wins; itz giving people hives.

LLMs are black boxy, its not like I can inspect the used weights of a prompt and judge the source of those weights.
