Like all code discussions on HN, we have never been given the code to hold.
I understand in the past HN accounts have been afraid to post code because it would reveal that they have no idea what they are doing, but now that we have the plausible deniability of "look at this stupid thing an LLM wrote!" it is curious the mindset persists. Old habits die hard, I suppose.
I didn't realize that I was on trial and that there was a requirement that I back up my personal anecdotes and observations with working examples to prove their worth.
In reality, there's no reason for me to do so, because I'm not on trial here at all. Please keep your accusations to yourself, comrade.
My willingness to prove to you that a bot uses a word in a strange way is approximately zero.
Logically there is never an expectation for one to comment for anyone but themselves, but it remains that nobody can hold something that has never been given to them.
