It reads a lot like an LLM... Especially this sentence:

> Now they're slop, agentic, and on fire — but they get attention, and attention is the only metric left.

Welcome to the future, where we have LLMs writing slop rants about LLMs writing slop!

And that my friend was the joke. Achievement unlocked, congrats!

Did you actually catch my drift though?

Something that reads like an LLM wrote it is different from an LLM having written it to begin with. Something written by an LLM can be something that doesn't have the hallmarks of LLM all over it.

I was just saying that the original quote doesn't strike me as something that's an annoyingly good piece of LLM writing.

There's a lot of experimentation happening on how to get LLMs to write well, starting with half of what's been posted on Gwern's blog as of late.
