It really doesn't matter.

For some threads on HN the article headline works as a seed for discussion where we gain more value, then the content isn't always that valuable human or GPT. For other's where the content is more important, they simply wont get upvoted when it's reconstituted garbage.



When I first read that article, the writing looked dull and unstructured, so I did not read it to the end.

I assumed it was written by a human either lacking the skill or the motivation to create a captivating piece of text.

If in the future AI can write as captivating and as structured as a skilled human, then why should we not enjoy reading it?

GPT, stable diffusion etc, all very clever and fun. Still about 3 billion light years away from anything resembling intelligence. What they have on their side is a massive source of pre-existing creativity, so if you are seeing something genuinely deep or artful, it's probably from a human... through ML.


Agree that headlines are sometimes just discussion prompts, and that’s fine. I guess this means ChatGPT is prompting us now!


Not GPT? I'm guessing whoever instigated the generation of the article.

Either that or dev/urandom, so sure GPT is prompting us in as much as a dice roll + finger on a page is.

I think people put too much stock in this stuff, it's not clever, it's just a new kind of automation.
