You started off writing this yourself and then "augmented" the reply of an LLM for the later part, right? Because the tone of your post changes from human to LLM as I continue reading it.

Yeah it’s pretty clearly a bot account, or at least someone who likes to copy paste from chatgpt to sound smart.

or it might be changing from anecdotal human to technical research human. Here's my question - if you had read that 5 years ago would you think it was written by a human who had done some reading on the matter, or would you think they googled it and copied some of what they found.

Obviously 5 years ago we couldn't have worried it was an LLM, but if you wouldn't have thought someone just copy pasted something without understanding it, or someone was crazy on drugs when they wrote something, then it seems somewhat unfair to give people this new accusation.

Had the exact same feeling. The conclusion shifts back to the human.
