alt Hacker News> Well - the point of involving the AI is that very often it explains my intuitions way better than I can. It instantiates them and fills in all the details
> I like to think that I can recognise good arguments, but if I am wrong here - then why would you prefer my writing from an LLM generated one?
Because the AI will happily argue either side of a debate, in both cases the meaningful/useful/reliable information in the post is constrained by the limits of _your_ knowledge. The LLM-based one will merely be longer.
Can you think of a time when you asked AI to support your point, and upon reviewing its argument, decided it was unconvincing after all and changed your mind?
You could instead ask Kimi K2 to demolish your point instead, and you may have to hold it back from insulting your mom in the ps.
Generally if your point holds up under polishing under Kimi pressure, by all means post it on HN, I'd say.
Other LLMs do tend to be more gentle with you, but if you ask them to be critical or to steelman the opposing view, they can be powerful tools for actually understanding where someone else is coming from.
Try this: Ask an LLM to read the view of the person you're answering to, and ask it steelman their arguments. Now think to see if your point is still defensible, or what kinds of sources or data you'd need to bolster it.
