Short term, definitely. In the long tail? If you are right more than you are wrong, then that manifests as respect.
Ha! I wish I worked at the places you have worked!

AlwaysRock commented on Ask HN: Should "I asked $AI, and it said" replies be forbidden in HN guidelines? · Posted by u/embedding-shape
This wouldn't ban the behavior, just the disclosure of it.
I guess... That is the point in my opinion.
If you just say, "here is what llm said" if that turns out to be nonsense you can say something like, "I was just passing along the llm response, not my own opinion"
But if you take the llm response and present it as your own, at least there is slightly more ownership over the opinion.
This is kind of splitting hairs but hopefully it makes people actually read the response themselves before posting it.

Yes. Unless something useful is actually added by the commenter or the post is about, "I asked llm x and it said y (that was unexpected)".
I have a coworker who does this somewhat often and... I always just feel like saying well that is great but what do you think? What is your opinion?
At the very least the copy paster should read what the llm says, interpret it, fact check it, then write their own response.
Yeah, but didn't you see the disclaimer?
"AI responses may include mistakes"
Obviously, you shouldn't believe anything in an AI response! Also, here is an AI response for any and every search you make.

Maybe you used "Don't give me nonsense" in your custom system prompt?
That does nothing. You can add, “say I don’t know if you are not certain or don’t know the answer” and it will never say I don’t know.

Id have more appreciation and trust in an llm that disagreed with me more and challenged my opinions or prior beliefs. The sycophancy drives me towards not trusting anything it says.
I would love an LLM that says, “I don’t know” or “I’m not sure” once in a while.
The problem is once you look at the definitions it's actually quite hard to exactly define what's Fantasy vs Sci-fi. It's more a venn diagram, than strictly separate genres and everyone has their own definition of which is which. So when someone likes one but not the other, it's hard to discuss books because what one person considers sci-fi, another may consider fantasy pretending to be sci-fi, thus the complaints of the original commenter.
It isn't that hard until they start to blur. Elves and goblins and magic, fantasy. Space, spaceships, technology, and aliens, sci-fi.
You could argue a lot of semantics but the majority of fantasy and sci fi books are not blending the two.
To be fair, that's a subjective difference in opinion, not an objective difference in type. Many people like "hard" sci-fi but not "soft" sci-fi, but that doesn't make them fundamentally distinct genres.
By the numbers, Star Wars is far more grounded as science fiction that Star Trek, but people will insist the former is at best merely "science fantasy." It's really all just vibes.

The best rage bait I've seen in years.
Worked with it a bit last night! Seems quick. I did run into the same problem I have with Gemini often where the response says something like, "I need to do x" or "I did x" and then nothing actually happens. Agent seems to think it actually does finish the task but it stops part way.
But I'm sure they will sort that out, as I dont have that issue with other anthropic models.

OT: Posted an hour ago, two top level comments, none of them about the article. Instead, random complaints about casing and terminology.
Meanwhile, articles such as this one (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45412263) get spammed with people yelling for “examples”, such as exactly what’s here.
One thing AI has changed for me (beyond, you know, everything) is making me really depressed about the state of the HN community. It seems HN itself hasn’t been immune to the severe social media toxicity pandemic going around… merely doing better than the gen pop alternatives.
Same as it ever was.
