Was this written by a chatbot? The first few paragraphs are giving me major 'freshman padding for space' vibes.



Yes, in fact. This text shows up at the bottom of the page:

Ah, that's what I get for just backing out and not scrolling to the bottom. At the same time though, ugh. I think this is probably where real world usecases of GPT are going but taking something a human expressed concisely and then using a machine to blow it out with a bunch of filler is the opposite of what I want LLMs to enable.


Yes, it was ChatGPT generated. Per the disclaimer at the bottom:

Should be easy to fix by adding to prompt: "be concise. Avoid padding and flowery language"
