they call it that because it usually is a fallacy

not what OOP said. why is this such a trigger for you that basic reading comprehension goes out the door?

immeasurably shitty? go touch some grass.

… I hope you’re not insinuating what it sounds like.

you mean this statement? theregister.com/…/linus_versus_llms_ai_slop_docs/…

If yes, your statement does not really match what Linus said.

of course, but the OP said independent

I highly doubt that. how would that even work? a third-party to the publisher would have to check every statement before the issue goes to print. I can’t imagine this happening for anything that is not research papers or official reports.

but I happy to learn something new.

in what world would independent fact checking down to the level of individual quotes be feasible for an online magazine? you can’t be serious.

Believe it or not, this is the first time for me being suspected a troll, but I start to see the appeal when people are getting so worked up while being so far off the mark.

Sorry to disappoint that I am still on the loose. Then again prison is probably better than doing one more D-FMEA.

I was sure this would happen, I was quite facetitious. OP’s blanket statement just rubbed me the wrong way.
