Not sure about the people who “are or think they are intelligent” being more susceptible to the con.

It feels like something one wishes to be true for karmic/poetic reasons rather than something that actually IS true.

I think good marks for the LLM con are more generally doubtful of the value of human intelligence/labour/education and/or tech positivist rather than true believers in their own intelligence.

The irony of crediting Moldbug with a potent explanation for bad poetry is rather amusing. It's almost a shame that Scott here cops out with a "The margins are too small for my proof", although maybe it is secret mercy.
