I like how people are recognizing "OH THIS IS TOKEN OUTPUT", and that's like... the only thing you can come up with to refute the argument?

Like not the actual content or meaning of the text, which I chose to post, but the mere fact that it wasn't typed in to a keyboard directly in a hacker news text box, but rather pasted after using a tool to refine the verbiage.

Honestly? Great test for most posts. We live in a world surrounded by people who are just copy and pasting ChatGPT answers like a magic 8 ball, and I respect your instinct to try to avoid those.

But that's not how I use ChatGPT, because I understand how language models work and choose to use them intentionally to help me nagivate ideas and learn new concepts (as well as write memos after-the-fact). Not just take a hollow "sounds good" response and post it to take up people time.

I come to HN because the caliber of poster here is above and beyond what you can find basically anywhere on the web.

If we wanted to debate ChatGPT, we can go do that on our own.
