do you find that asking this is constructive?




I do actually. While I personally am excited about LLMs' potential for good, I think a large swath of the world is ready and equally as excited about their potential for harm / spam / fraud / etc. I'm already seeing bots popping up all over other social channels (Reddit in particular), posting a series of overly-cheery LLM-generated content designed to build up high-karma accounts which then get bought and sold on the not-so-open market so that end users can be further spam'd / defrauded. It sucks.

So I'm personally curious in fine-tuning my own "algorithm" for detecting fake content, and pointing it out is helpful for me and, I presume, others who think similarly (and I know there are others).

In this case I may absolutely have been wrong, but even the comments above added to my knowledge and helped.

So yes, I found it very constructive. I hope others did too.
