I think the human in the loop currently needs to know what the LLM produced or checked, but they’ll get better.

Bagels and Calculators
I once believed a bagel was a sacred, noble thing, A circle of wisdom, a torus of spring. Boiled in tradition, baked into lore, Yet here I am, watching folks spread mayo—what for?
They tell me, “If you can’t make the dough by hand, You’ll never understand the bagel’s true stand.” Knead it, proof it, roll it tight, Or else your breakfast ain’t done right.
But listen, Professor of Flour and Yeast, I have a toaster, let me feast. You scorn my shortcuts, my modern ways, Like old men shouting at clouds for days.
You once claimed math must be long and cruel, No shortcuts, no gadgets, just suffering in school. Yet now, in pockets, machines hum and glow, Cranking out answers you swore we’d not know.
So pardon me while I sip my brew, And bite this bagel, fresh and new. For whether it’s dough or sums or gears, Progress rolls forward—it has for years.

- Comment on Diablo speedrunners searched 2.2 billion random dungeon seeds to debunk a two-decade old speedrun record 1 month ago:
What blows my mind is that segmented runs were ever allowed. I understand it for longer runs, multiple hours, but a sub 4 minute run should never allow cuts.
- Comment on Consider placement before taking a picture 1 month ago:
I did that for a long time, but some posts are NSFW for other reasons and I hate missing those. So I just manually block the random adult content myself.

The blatant ads there were getting insane though. I love how you are sharing your well earned recognition, but many times on Reddit it was, “My daughter died of cancer three years ago and I quit my job and used coding as therapy, three years later, I have my parting gift inspired by her love of turtles ready to share with the world!”
Insert half-baked $5 game made in a few weeks
It was so obvious they were creating fictions to push shovelware.
