Comment

Accusing someone of using an LLM just because they presented a well-articulated and thought-provoking response is a sad reflection on the critic, not the writer. I wrote that using a keyboard, not some gimmick; I also have advanced degrees and can draft out my thoughts in Microsoft Word without relying on AI tools. It’s really telling that you think any robust, complex response must be “fake news” or generated by a bot. Just because a response isn’t reduced to shallow platitudes or memes doesn’t mean it’s not genuine.

Frankly, that comment took less than five minutes to compose. Maybe it’s time to re-evaluate your assumptions about what people are capable of when they’re not locked into oversimplified, knee-jerk responses.

If advanced degrees make you a good writer, I think everyone I work with (and myself) have probably been doing it wrong the whole time.

Listen, maybe I’m wrong here. But I don’t believe that you because you penned that comment eight minutes after you wrote another 4 paragraph reply, with a very similar word count, which you wrote in most eleven minutes. I’m more impressed with the lemmy.world admins for improving the time new comments take to propagate, since as recently as last week it was taking a reliable 4 minutes for them to register across the desktop interface. But hey, I might be wrong, I can’t prove this.

  You are free to believe whatever you want. There are two comments posted back-to-back because I switched to a keyboard and decided to write them both while I was on the keyboard. Writing in Word, with its autocorrect features, makes producing relatively error-free prose fairly easy. Also, typing at 74 words per minute is not particularly fast—I typically type much faster than that. I find it funny that four quickly written paragraphs seem so unbelievable to you that it makes you question reality.
  
  Regardless, I have no intention of continuing to justify how quickly I write. This conversation is pointless.

    Man… listen. You’re doubling down on the most implausible details here, even the ones I fudged in your favor (wpm), and that’s just silly. If that’s truly what a stream of consciousness looks like from you, and if microsoft word really is (despite all of human history serving as a counter example) helpful to you, then you are the Michael Phelps of internet commenting, and I suppose I commend you for that. But, again, I really doubt it.
    
    Have a good day, and I mean that sincerely, because this is a really stupid hill for me to be trying this hard to die on.

Also, I usually comment from my phone, but I switch to a laptop for more detailed responses. I actually found parts of that comment a bit repetitive, but I didn’t feel like spending the extra time revising it. I imagine if I were using an LLM, it would have produced something with better flow and polish.

  If you were using an LLM it would have said something stupid about how book burning is something that can be normalized by either side and then given definitions for way to many words in a long paragraph.
  
  I don’t think it would be better, and prefer the emotional but educated response of someone else seeing through the garbage of calling out the opinion forum of newspaper for being responsible of all said in it.
