alt Hacker NewsThe comment sounds "polished" because I've probably described this project dozens of times at this point.
When you repeat the same thing over and over you naturally end up with a tight version of it. That's not an LLM, that's just how it works when you talk about something a lot.
And honestly even if I did use an LLM to write a comment on HN, so what? The code is what matters.
Go run the benchmarks, read the source, open an issue if something breaks.
That's the part that actually counts.

Part of what makes these forums fun is human responses. LLMs write "good enough" text but they come off as robotic and inhuman. The only reason to go onto one of these forums is to communicate with people. If I wanted to talk to a robot, I would talk to ChatGPT, which I can do as often as I want.

I didn't say it sounded "polished", I said exactly the opposite.

If we wanted to chat with bots, we know where to find them.
