It could be "Please, I beg of you, have a website" or "For the love of God, have a website" or even "AAAHHHHH JUST HAVE A WEBSITE ALREADY"

Many ways exist to cover all ranges of emotions without resorting to a purely cosmetic "fuck"


And in our day jobs we earn money for providing negative value to society. Least we can do is give a little something to someone everynow and then.

That, and giving something nice to your local community ----- the place where you belong.

Like, if I have a skill, why shouldn't I use that skill in service of those around me? Especially when it's barely an inconvenience for me.

The western culture of individualism runs contrary to our biology.


of course, we shouldn't forget that they manifacture the entire world's shit, and have a larger population than US and EU combined. And despite manufacturing all shit, they still emit less per Capita than US and EU.


they have smaller population than india but they are building more new plants than india and the entire world combined

Pure AI slope os often extremely obvious, while for good AI writing that's indistinguishable from thoughtful human writing I'd say "Mission fucking accomplished"[0]

Poe's law strikes.

Parent's last paragraph was definitely an ironic portray of LLM writing! Notice the double-dash emdash.


Oh I saw that.

But was it really an ironic parody, or actually an llm?


No, I only use the finest, home-grown, naturally-produced Human Brain slop to make my comments.


As someone put ot before, humans use these little constructions maybe once or twice per article, not every single fucking paragraph.


There is also significant meaning encoded in the parent's choice of words that implies more than what's written. "Formulate", "intend", and "receive" imply the parent comes from a technical or academic background, and this is how they express their thoughts. Parent has "intentions", not mere "wants". To the parent, the act of weaving together a comment for communication constitutes "Formulating thought", which is different from just "find wording"


> my ears, "to help me find wording that conveys my thoughts the way I want them to be understood by the reader" conveys the same meaning as "to search for a way to formulate my thoughts like I intend them to be received by the reader"

I disagree with your disagreement and subjective take. The LLM changed the meaning in a significant but not very obvious way.

Compare "I use a hammer to drive nails" to "I use a hammer to help me drive nails"

In the former the writer implies tool use, in the latter the LLM turned that into some sort of assistant relationship. The former is normal, the latter is cringe (to my ears)
