I get the joke and I myself called it awhile back, I just thought we had a bit more time.

We need more jokes on HN. It's the only good way to prove you're human these days.

The flood of humorous GPT-generated reviews on Amazon made me stop reading reviews altogether.

I can understand someone using a LLM to extrapolate one sentence into two paragraphs. I don't like it, but I understand that on Amazon the button is right there and it helps people feel smarter about their literary skills, in the way that filters help people feel prettier on instagram.

But the added snark or humoristic tone? Why instruct the LLM to do that? To get more likes? On a review?

The dumb jokes we've been flooded with June 2023 are some of the easiest content for AI to produce.

This is seriously a good point. Maybe that and typos or bad phrasing

[schappim]

Depends on the context ;-)

I don't know. Most of my attempts at humor here seem to attract the moderation PETN.

>We need more jokes on HN.

I see... Hacker News needs to get a sense of humor or else get drowned in AI slop.

So we're doomed is what you're saying.
