Do you think maybe OP would have asked a language model for the answer if they felt like they wanted a language model to give an answer? Or in your mind parent doesn't know about LLMs, and this is your way of introducing them to this completely new concept?

Funny that the "human" answer above took 2 people to be "complete" (i.e. an initial answer, followed by a correction and expansion of concepts), while the LLM one had mostly the same explanation, but complete and in one answer.

Maybe most of us here don't seek just whatever answer to whatever question, but the human connection part of it is important too, that we're speaking with real humans that have real experience with real situations.

Otherwise I'd just be sitting chatting with ChatGPT all day instead of wast...spending all day on HN.

If life is a jobs program, why don't we dig ditches with spoons?

Oh, I agree. What I found funny is the gut reaction of many other readers that downvoted the message (it's greyed out for me at time of writing this comment). Especially given that the user clearly mentioned that it was LLM generated, while also being cheeky with the "transformer" pun, on a ... transformer topic.
