ChatGPT?

What a world we live in, where a person can't write a coherent blurb of text without being suspected of using ChatGPT. Anyone remember Idiocracy? That movie is starting to sound more and more like a prophecy.

Your original post is a summary without any new ideas or thoughts about the article. That is why it reads like you asked an AI to generate it.

I don’t think the question was meant as an accusation, but it is amusing to think about whether some commenters are using an AI to generate their comments. Would we even notice?

I think we would notice because we would all start to sound alike :D kind of bland

You're right. I often look for a quick summary of the articles here in these comments to avoid falling for clickbaits, so contributing a summary about something I found useful.

Fair enough. The one word question was hard to read into, and it's amusing indeed. We shall never know for sure!

Repeating "graph modeling" three sentences in a row, with all those sentences being damn near content-free, reads like it came from something even less capable than ChatGPT, to me.

Sorry to disappoint?

That was the first thing I thought.

But the account is 8 years old.

There's a real person behind the account, but my guess is they are playing around with the shiny new tech.
