It's not a ban. On HN they recently put a thread limit on depth.

Either way your post is rude.i have a contrary opinion can I not express it without being accused of trolling? I assure you I am not.

If anything, the majority shares there opinion with you. They are generic and harping on the same tired tropes of llms being just statistical text completion machines without ever remarking about the obvious black box nature of neural nets. It's more likely the majority and generic opinions that you all share are the ones trolling with chatGPT.

In fact ask chatGPT about the topic. Are you self aware? And it will give you the same generic opinion you and everyone else on this thread. If you're right about chatgpt being a statistical parrot, then ironically my opinion is more likely to NOT be generated by an LLM given how contrary it is to the majority opinion (aka training data).

I vouched for several of your dead posts.

Exactly, there is no understanding.

A generic opinion doesn't mean it doesn't understand. Think about it. It means it's either giving us the most statistically likely text completion OR it actually has a generic understanding and a generic opinion on the post. It doesn't bend the needle either way.

>I vouched for several of your dead posts.

Thank you. Again, I assure you none of my posts are trolls.
