<p>Unfortunately people are saying they are fun for the purposes of ragebait that goes viral, which is half the reason people intentionally post AI slop on social media.</p>

<p>> so people have less of an incentive to be honest, and tons of incentives to hide their use<p>Case in point, the recent Hank Green incident. That was an own-goal of being too honest about LLM use and I suspect the industry learning will be "don't talk about the process." Larian Studios got in hot water earlier over a similar "we <i>may</i> use AI in preproduction" incident.</p>

<p>> 1. You believe in ascribing credit where credit is due. Using an LLM feels like cheating so disclosing it makes you feel less like an imposter for having produced something amazing.<p>Cheating isn't the right word here. Crediting LLMs is about giving everyone involved accurate information which can be used for later decision making (e.g. if something unexpected happens as a result of a LLM-ism).</p>

<p>...that links to a Medium blog post, this submission is not a Medium blog post.<p>I can confidently say I do not have an encyclopedic knowledge of blog posts and who wrote them I may or may not have read over a year ago. I made that comment on that post because <i>it's weird to quote yourself</i>, I don't think I actually read the post.<p>I have no grudges against any particular Hacker News user and I typically don't pay attention to who writes a given post/comment unless it's out-of-pocket.</p>

<p>I did not flag the original HN submission, but yes, this post reads <i>very</i> weirdly at best to the point that it's hard to take it seriously. Not every paragraph needs to be 2 sentences that are snippy.</p>

<p>It doesn't add anything to the discourse. If it's low-quality, flag it and move on.<p>(the fact that it's currently at #3 is a bit weird and I've noticed some things weird recently with the HN algorithm but that's off topic)</p>

<p>My G602 died due to Logitech's infamous double-click issue. :(<p>I've been fine with the G502 X Lightspeed (which <i>should</i> avoid said double-click issue due to optical switches) and some more efficient button use to compensate for the fewer side buttons.</p>

<p>I once had an interview loop where after the final round I didn't hear back from the recruiter point-of-contact for awhile. After 1.5 weeks, I sent an email following up: the recruiter replied "I was on vacation dammit, btw you didn't get the job."</p>
