I had a longer, snarkier response to this the (as I'm writing) top comment on this thread. I spent longer than I'd like to have trying to decode what insight you were sharing here (what exactly is inverted in the GPU/CPU summaries you give?) until I browsed your comment history and saw what looks like a bunch of AI-generated comments (sometimes less than a minute apart from each other) and realized I was trying to decode slop.

This one's especially clear because you reference "the cases shayonj mentioned", but shayonj's comment[1] doesn't mention any use cases, but it does make a comparison to "NVIDIA's stdexec", which seems like might have gotten mixed into what your model was trying to say in the preceding paragraph?

This is really annoying. Please stop.

This is what I fucking hate about this AI craze. It's all [1], fundamentally, about deception. Trying to pass off word salad as a blogpost, fake video as real, a randomly generated page as a genuine recipe, an LLM summary as insight.

[1] Nearly all.

I see this accusation a lot, and admittedly, I defended someone who later on was shown to use AI to generate comments, but I am still missing a motivation for this. Is your argument that he is using AI to copyedit his posts, or that he is asking AI to write a response to a random thread that looks insightful? Because I cannot fathom why someone would ever do that.

I have no idea what their motivation is and no idea if they're using an LLM to tune their prose or write comments whole cloth (considering the four recent comments, each two paragraphs, within 2.5 minutes, though, I'm guessing fully generated).

I was just annoyed enough by spending a couple of minutes trying to decode what had the semblance of something interesting that I felt compelled to write my response :)

There are a ton of interesting top-level comments and questions posted in this thread. It's such a waste this one is at the top.

forgive the hyperbole but this seems completely insane to me. like is the purpose of a forum not to share our collective human experiences? or do you get off on some internetpointmaxxing side game instead

i just don't get it, what are you optimizing for here exactly. are you trying to remove every ounce of autonomy from your life or what
