Ynow what's fucked up? I knew within the first few sentences that you're doing that on purpose, but still found myself wondering if you're a an LLM. I mean I knew you weren't, but the question is already so deeply ingrained at this point - and then you use the pullet points to boot...

This loss of trust is getting tiresome. Depending on context we've likely all wondered if something is astro turfed, but with the frequency increase from llms it's never really possible to not have it somewhere in mind

I'm proud? to say I've gotten the 'are you using an LLM' question in a meeting when doing off the cuff fluent corpo jargon too.

To date, I've never used an LLM directly. I find them deeply repellant, and I've yet to be convinced that there exists a sufficiently tuned prompt that will make me not hate their literally 'mid' output.

Loss of trust though, that's a societal issue of this gilded age of grifters and scammers. Until we have a system of accountability and consequences for serial lying, we're gonna drown in this shit. LLMs are jet fuel for our existing environment of impunity.

You have to assume everything is astroturf, and constantly remind yourself not to be swayed by the mood in the room.
