#12NN-generated text has this really weird uncanny valley feeling to it, where the words are well organized but there’s no cogent thesis or point to be made. I feel like I might be reading schizophrenic ramblings.
No point here necessarily, this stuff is fascinating but creeps me out. Words from generated comments (using this website) are organized in a way that cause me to second guess my own reading comprehension abilities. It’s kinda neat and fascinating.
The real challenge here: did I write this myself or modify a recommended NN-generated comment? I’ll award points to the winner.

#13When given "Elon Musk Dies", the model outputs:
"It's easy for everyone to believe that Musk was the real reason behind the death of the planet. He was the first guy to believe the same as we did. But this seems so obvious that many people have started believing it. I'm convinced it was because the world was so big that it's so easy for people to believe that."
Maybe the model knows something we don't.

#15For the title "AI personal tutor for Auto-Didacts" this gives:

> This seems to fit the trend of people using AI as a tool as much as possible to save time.
> If you want to save time, just don't try to do something about it. A good AI's ability to reap more benefit is not measured in dollars/days of training per se, but rather, a more accurate one.
> Wow -- this is really interesting, I was expecting it to look like a robot taking a long walk around the world and going to work.
Anyway, I like the idea.
The big challenge I see with the auto-didacts is that the people who are doing it will have more data to look at and can do it quickly. I think if there are any intelligent bots, I'm looking at making this much harder for the people who are doing it quickly. But it would be great if they found a way to make their algorithms so easy to follow and make them more productive.
As other posters have pointed out, this type of thing is not for everyone. It just might be to make your computer do the work on your own time, and to keep things consistent and understandable.
I love the idea of an interface that has to match the time someone else is doing it in a similar manner. I don't know about others and if it would work or not, but I think I want to think of a way to see them learn from each other.

Wow. :o

The author claims the same thing is true of software, but not with software itself.

This is great article. When I read "Taught in 30 Minutes" I was amazed at how the author seems to think that it was a "fantastic story" that was written in an unrealistic way - that the author has been able to write his book on his own (yet untrue). The author doesn't seem to be aware of the actual circumstances behind the creation of a book.

Great post. This is really the kind of article I don't think the author talks about in his blog post.
TL;DR - the world is everywhere.
I was very disappointed with the title, but here we are.

Once you stopped using the quote symbol, I thought it was your comment and spent too long trying to understand it as such.

#19I got "https://hn.algolia.com/?q=Hacker+News" as one of the comments for a couple of searches. You may want to remove the Algolia search link from your training data - which is at the bottom of every thread page.

#20“Generate Hacker News Comments from Titles” yields
- A nice little hack and I think it would be better to have a bit more info on the title. It would show a much more comprehensive description and a little more info on the actual title.
- I don't know enough about this topic, but it makes me wonder why it's so popular in some other forum. It appears there is a lot of noise in the community, so why not just show up at the bottom of the page, or go to the top of HN, rather than showing up, to get to the bottom of the page?
- I find the title on the front page to be a bit clumsy. Maybe a change to "HN News." might help somewhat, I suppose. EDIT: The title is a bit misleading. Is this some kind of a "submitter" with pg saying "Show HN" because of some sort of 'Show HN'?
These are actually believable
