> Would you enjoy the experience of telling your LLM “make a HN-style comment thread on $subject with 200 comments, no trolls please” The reason I'm not simulating the experience with an LLM is because: 1. It costs more time to do so, because I have to prompt it to create a single comment. Multiply that by the typical number of an HN thread. 2. I suppose in a way you need bad takes to form your own view of a topic or an issue. LLMs would also be unable to provide truly unique experiences, such as some of the veterans who sometimes post here who were part of the living computing history as we know it. > I’m surprised you’re here and not just simulating the experience with your LLM by yourself. That's something you imagined that I claimed I want. If you read my comment again, you'll see there was no such thing. |

This is a thought exercise. I phrased it as "If you would enjoy it", and you clearly have stated reasons why it would be insufficient, so, it doesn't apply to you. If I say "if X then Y, else Z" and you say !X, then of course, !Z applies.
But your original post says "so what" if the people posting here are actually LLM's. And you just answered that question above: "LLMs would also be unable to provide truly unique experiences." So that's what.
To continue the argument I'm making: We're all here because we want unique experiences talking to other humans. None of us would ever think it's ok if this site was just LLM's instead. If we did, we would open up our favorite LLM, not open hacker news. Right? Right. Seems like you agree.
