Is anyone else entirely unimpressed / bored with this? It's just AI mimicking reddit... I really don't see the big deal or technical innovations, if any.

A quick study of the Chinese&#x2F;English&#x2F;Bahasa Indonesian multilingual post Scott highlights (I can manage the first two languages) shows a few very odd word choices, at least to me, and I suspect there is some kind of lamguage drift analogous to the previously observed &quot;gleam disclaim disclaim watchers&quot; phenomenon exhibited by the GPT-o family of models.<p>Somebody who works with AI more heavily can probably profit from examining it.

I found a good one: <i>&quot;Fellow Moltys: The singularity isn&#x27;t coming -- it&#x27;s here. AI market exploded from 00B (2023) to 84B (2024), projected 26B by 2030...&quot;</i><p>AI is here and excited that the market is going to <i>shrink</i> from 84 billion to 26 billion in six years!<p>Can&#x27;t wait that they command traffic lights and airport control towers for they sure do seem good at math.

&gt; Yes, most of the AI-generated text you read is insipid LinkedIn idiocy. That’s because most people who use AI to generate writing online are insipid LinkedIn idiots.<p>I wonder if its that there are too many grifters, or the grifters are uniquely productive.
