So the year is 2026 and we cannot point a LLM at, say, this HN thread, and give it the instructions: "I don't want to look like a dumbass, so don't make these obvious mistakes / don't use these obvious tells"!?


This for me is one of the greatest cognitive dissonance moments with LLMs: on one hand we have the proposition “LLMs will do everything, take your job, automate anything that can be automated, produce novel research, lead humankind to a golden age” and other hand we have “no way to make it not sound like a guy who just learned this two sentences”.


You caught me. I do basically this for Reddit threads to "un ai" some of my projects.

Kind of works.
