Hi! You are bullshitting us. To understand your own incorrectness, please consider what a chatbot should give as an answer to the following questions which I gave previously, on Lobsters:
- Is the continuum hypothesis true?
- Is the Goldbach conjecture true?
- Is NP contained in P?
- Which of Impagliazzo’s Five Worlds do we inhabit?
The biggest questions in mathematics do not fit nicely into the chatbot paradigm and demonstrate that LLMs lack intelligence (whatever that is). I wrote about Somebody Else’s Paper, but it applies to you too:
This attempt doesn’t quite get over the epistemological issue that something can be true or false, determined and decided, prior to human society learning about it and incorporating it into training data.
Also, on a personal note, I recommend taking a writing course and organizing your thoughts prior to writing long posts for other people. Your writing voice is not really yours, but borrowed from chatbots; I suspect that you’re about halfway down the path that I described previously, on Lobsters. This is reversible but you have to care about yourself.
Over on
programming.dev, in this comment, you posted a chatbot’s analysis of the flake. You then deleted it, perhaps after reading it and realizing that it was inane and uninsightful. At the same time, you’re over here getting into a fight over the word “clanker”, which you used to refer to the very same chatbots whose output you uncritically posted.I understand that you have some inner turmoil, and that your behavior is merely an external facet of your emotional processing. However, I think that it’s important to understand that the chatbot never has any ideas; indeed, it cannot ideate or cogitate. As such, your fencesitting is not gaining you any actual insights. To the current example, before you deleted the chatbot-output comments, I noted that the biggest and most insightful takeaway that the chatbot found was the ability to build a NixOS configuration locally, SSH to a remote host, copy the configuration to that host, and switch that host to the new configuration without rebooting; this is a standard part of NixOS which is in the man page, the official wiki, and the unofficial wiki. I get why you deleted the original comment, but I don’t get why you posted it unless you genuinely believed that it was full of “hallucinate[d] useful ideas.”
