Maybe I’m going crazy, but the frequent use of qualifiers for almost every noun in your writing screams of “LLM” to me. Did you use LLM assistance? I don’t get that same feel from your comments, so I’m learning toward an AI having written only the Shortform itself.
If you did use AI, I’d be in favor of you disclosing that so that people like me don’t feel like they’re gradually going insane.
If not, then I’m sorry and retract this. (Though not sure what to tell you—I think this writing style feels too formal and filled with fluff like “crucial” or “invaluable”, and I bet you’ll increasingly be taken for an AI in other contexts.)
Yes I use LLMs in my writing [not this comment] and I strongly encourage others to do so too.
This the age of Cyborgism. Jumping on making use of the new capabilities opening up will likely be key to getting alignment right. AI is coming, whether you like it or not.
There is also a mundane reason: I have an order of magnitude more ideas than I can write down. Using LLMs allows me to write an essay in 30 min which otherwise would take half a day.
Oh yeah no problem with writing with LLMs, only doing it without disclosing it. Though I guess this wasn’t the case here, sry for flagging this.
I’m not sure I want to change my approach next time though, bc I do feel like I should be on my toes. Beware of drifting too much toward the LLM’s stylebook I guess.
