I saw you all get caught. I think what I look for is how derivative something sounds. Human or bot I don't like derivative content. If it's something I can imagine many people saying - I don't need you to say it because I can imagine it. It's hard to generate novelty so bots tend to only produce derivative tokens, no matter how many tokens they produce. Yet it's relatively easy to verify novelty.
This will probably change but it's true now: bots, without very long chains of reasoning prompted to discover novelty and criteria to verify it (which is not easy to come by), say derivative things.
What I try to be very sensitive to when reading content now: surprise. My surprise in content, grammar, tone, formatting, etc.
tbh I think this is a rosy rationalization, ie what I hope I'm doing. So in an effort to fight that, here's a less charitable guess:
- have I seen this nym before
- is the content deeper than average but in a kind of generic, illusory way
- is the content eerily consistent with their past content
- can I find human failings that should cause me to question my judgement so far
I will shame-facedly admit that I zapped it here: #1459455
I should have known better.
Why did I zap it? I had been pretty encouraging/positive in my own responses to the productionready concept, but I do think one of the criticisms is that they seemed to go live without being willing to divulge very many specifics about the plan. The bot's comment reminded me of something I had seen somewhere else and I didn't really consider whether it was bot or not.
Yes. Probably you saw it on twitter
I formulated a question to Jimmy to explicitly not say the obvious, because - for once - I tried to be diplomatic, lol. In general I don't mind 501c3 funding for open source but when they have explicit goals then the ecosystem needs to be able to absorb it. I think that that's doable in this case, also because this is competition for Knots too. But I'm very skeptical simply because good devs are expensive.
But now the question becomes: why do we need a clanker/milker to come onto the top comment (at the time) and summarize algorithmically what we really think? Are we willing to defend taking a milder, open minded stance? And with "we" I mean everyone that is not threatened by this.
Well you zapped me so that must be sloppy. Lol.
Except this time I put a lot of effort in the first not commenting at all. And when I had something positive to say, turn it into a (leading-ish, but that couldn't be helped due to the nature of the issue) question.
~lol not me!
Who are the 2 among us that got excited from a clankpinion trap
And why did you let yourself get zapbaited with something that is so basic that even a 5yo could have asked grok to write it?
I mean... Its 200% zapbaiting. Telling you what you want to hear. Without depth. Just the statement. Proven twitter strategy to get paid as long as you're the first to say it.
Let's discuss.
