Yay, another mostly AI authored piece with vibe-coded aesthetics.
Some will say that I should 'judge the idea, not the form'.
But if the author didn't find enough strength to write alone a short ~700 words summary about his work, it means he himself isn't that interested or enthusiastic about it. Why should others bother then? Particularly since low-effort like that signals possibility the whole work is superficial and derivative.
> I'm judging the ideas in your post, not its form.
and simultaneously you write that 'my form is lackluster' and that 'an LLM could have written your comment and improved its form without losing anything distinctive'. We are having ourselves a small contradiction, aren't we.
Be my guest, enjoy chatbot writing and drowning in slop. But don't encroach upon my freedom to protest it.
> Ironic, isn't it? Yet you continue your lackluster form devoid any criticism of ideas.
Pointing out someone's contradiction is now being 'critical of form'? And someone's contradicting themselves is 'ironic'?
Now I'm not even sure you know the meaning of words you use. EOT from me.
Your claim that suspected AI assistance proves the author isn't interested -- and therefore that the work is probably superficial -- is unsupported.
