Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Actual comedians try to use LLM in a writing room. Result: “cruise ship comedy material from the 1950s, but a bit less racist” (arxiv.org)

I can imagine a comedian using an LLM to check if a joke or punchline has been done before, but that would require the LLM to actually work and give accurate information. Also if you are a comedian using an LLM, you probably don’t actually care about whether or not you are plagiarising someone, so I guess this is all moot.

My favorite LLM move is when you ask for a source for their last response, and instead of saying they aren't capable of providing them, they just invent fictitious URLs.
