Explanation about syncookies is soooo wrong that it's funny. Was this hallucination generated by chat gpt?

It appeared to have been written by ChatGPT.

One of the biggest "tell" of using ChaptGPT is not enough simple sentences.

In short, the article is simply "mouthy".

This is why US military manuals to complex machineries are written at 8-grade reading level.

I don't know if this is the case, however, there are people who actually delight themselves in writing complex sentences comparable to a mathematician's use of mathematics or a painter's artistry on canvas.

... make that "compound complex" sentences.

I don't think it was written by ChatGPT, I think the author just saw that a hash was involved and got confused with proof of work.

What's the real explanation?

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SYN_cookies

The author seems to have remembered that hashes are involved and assumed that it works as a proof of work, but this is nonsense.
