Thank you for your reply, I may have misinterpreted what Weatherby was saying and I admit I did not spend enough time reading it. I've re-skimmed it and think you may be right.

With respect to the use of LLMs for my original comment. I think however that this is a useful use for them. It started a conversation on an article that had not comments on it and helped at least one person (me but hopefully others too) to get a better understanding of what was said (thanks to your comment). But it's not a hill I'm willing to die on, specially after already having been wrong once in this thread :)

I find it disrespectful and selfish to expect thousands of people to read and analyze a comment you can't bother to write yourself.

You may have been helped in this situation but you've amortized it with great interest amongst all of us.

You can invoke Poe's law just by reading the article (or not as happens with most cases of honest/unintentional Poe's law) and posting something wrong about it. LLMs are not needed for this use case, we can think and spark discussions by ourselves, that's the whole point of a forum.
