I lied?
In your comments you’re specifically avoiding answering the question, until you finally admitted to using AI to make your tone more “professional”.

Sorry, but the semantic constructs used in the article, the em-dashes, the use of ± signs that nobody ever uses, the typical bold formatting, the fact that your brother posts AI generated comments on your blog, it’s just too much.
I don’t blame you for it, writing a blog post like this without AI takes days of work. But at least own up to it, instead of now playing innocent that you didn’t lie.
No you didn’t lie, you omitted the part you also used AI to write the copy when confronted.

I don't mean to be dismissive or rude, this question is genuine: Why should I care or bother? This is the extent to which I used AI: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46022576

What route dude I made an article to bring attention to the issue and the attention has been brought. Why do you want me to do things your way? I do things my way just fine. There's always someone to tell you that you should do this or that. Why should I do this or that? You do this and that if that's whats important to you. And if you want me to do this and that then convince me why I should.

You do you, but the least you can do is either not reply, or admit that you used AI to write the copy as well.
I'm not a data analyst. Almost everything pertaining to data analysis of the log is perplexity labs. I'm also not a journalist and the article I wrote didn't sound professional and was too long. So I had AI change it to have a professional tone and structure and then edited it. I'm also not an artist and I had AI generate a picture of a bear reading a newspaper. Then I used krita to remove the background and make it…

#145Sue them.
I probably will but my monetary loss is so negligible they wont care.
There's another article on that site about how I sued Subaru of America for covering up an octane issue.

You shouldn't lie about your work because that harms society (if you care about us) and society also will punish you (if you care about yourself). If you don't care about yourself or the people around you, then I have no idea why you should care.
I hate this aspect of HN, on other websites I can just block these types of sociopaths/trolls at their first message. But here I end up wasting my time and energy or I'll look bad.

Amazing that we now live in a world where AI can instantly an accurately diagnose a network infrastructure problem, but you are still forced to talk to CS drones who tell you again and again "have you tried unplugging it and plugging it back in?"
I'm not so sure that's an accurate diagnosis. But I agree it's certainly better than one can get from phoning support.
Customer support isn't allowed to tell you to attack the box with a hammer. But if they could be totally honest...

Re: A monopoly ISP refuses to fix upstream infrastructure
#149In the UK we are lucky to have a bit better of the system - Openreach (or Virgin) own the cables, and ISPs pay Openreach to do the transit. IP based not dark fibre unfortunately. That said, most ISPs won’t escalate when there’s an OR problem, or at least take a long time to, and then the OR tech is usually just trained to test the cable coming in and not a lot else. I used to be with Andrew’s and Arnold (run by @revk…
I still use Andrews & Arnold. Absolutely fantastic service.

I’m very much uninterested in reading AI generated content. Your assertions seems to be “AIs only write like that because people have been writing like that”, but that’s not a great argument. It feels like AI has suddenly given a platform for people who previously were unable to properly write blog content. But it immediately feels unoriginal and generic. I’m just not interested in that type of content and immediatel…
For the most part LLMs choose "the most common" tokens; so regardless of whether the content was "AI content" or not, maybe you are getting tired of mediocrity. And of course also that mediocrity has now become so cheap that it is now the overwhelming majority.
LLMs have the tendency to really like comparisons / contrasts between things, which is likely due to the nature of neural networks (eg “Paris - France + Italy” = “Rome”). This is because when representing these concepts as embeddings, they can be computer very straightforward in vector space.
So no, it’s not all due to human language, LLMs do really write content in a specific style.
One recent study also showed something interesting: AIs aren’t very good at recognizing AI generated content either, which is likely related; they’re unaware of these patterns.
