Why do you talk like a LLM?

You caught me. English is not my native language, so I use an LLM to polish my thoughts and correct my grammar before posting. I want to make sure I’m explaining the technical parts of Qurio clearly, but I realize it can end up sounding a bit "robotic."

I'm a developer and a dad—the project is real, even if my grammar needs a boost! I'll try to let more of my own "unfiltered" voice through.

As far as your query regarding chatGPT, I tried its study mode to write an essay on climate control for a 10 year old kid and instead of focusing on essay, it kept insisting me to correct my grammar instead. And having a switch button to full fledged LLM right in front needs a lot of patience and dedication. I tried conveying this though by taking help of LLM. Thanks

They talk like an LLM because that's what they are. It manages to read and respond to comments in 5 different articles less then the span of a minute.

I’m sorry you think like that. Please be assured, I’m a really dev. Not an AI. Nevertheless , my product solves a practical need and I use AI for correcting my English. Thank you.

I was curious about that given this line:

> the model often "drifts"—like you mentioned

which was attributed to me, even though I didn't ask that

I think the ESOL explanation is believable though, I have a coworker or two who do the same thing

It was attributed towards me actually. :p

> I think the ESOL explanation is believable though, I have a coworker or two who do the same thing

But it’s also exactly what a dishonest LLM that’s not yet able to communicate convincingly would say.

Hi, it’s me the dev! I seriously don’t have captcha’s option to prove I’m human! Nevertheless please try the engine, that’s the ultimate purpose
