LessWrong, is this rational? I wrote a reply to Elizabeth’s open bid for answers to her research questions in good faith. She replies not with anything substantive, but to claim it is written with AI. I’m happy for her to disagree with my answer, but flagging a difference in style to suggest low quality is not what I thought this community was supposed to be about. Cynically, one could suggest she doesn’t want to make good on her offer … For the record, I wrote it late at night and ran the response through an LLM to improve readability for her benefit.
If you don’t know what I’m talking about, see the most disliked comment on her post :)
To be clear, I no longer think you were trying to avoid making good on your offer. But at the moment I was irked and that’s what it felt like from my perspective.
Thank you for the explanation.
Is there a reason you deflected when I originally asked about AI assistance? To me that’s a much bigger deal than the AI assistance itself.
