Why downvote?

[airstrike → LtdJorge]

Reads like an ad written by an LLM, is my guess.

It could just be that they translated from their original language to English and got that as a byproduct. Many such cases.

[Sesse__ → airstrike]

It also does not add anything interesting to the discussion. Like, why add a bland summary of the article?

[magicalhippo → Sesse__]

So you don't have to read the article to figure out if you want to read the article?

I for one appreciate such comments, given the guidelines to avoid submission summaries.

[nchmy → airstrike]

its literally the author of the article.

[OutOfHere → airstrike]

It is completely disingenuous and unfair to claim that something, especially a small blurb, is written by an LLM. And so what if it actually was written by an LLM. If you want to criticize something, do so on the merits or demerits of the points in it. You don't get a free pass by claiming it's LLM output, irrespective of whether it is or not.

I'm puzzled by this reply. It's perfectly fine for me to hypothesize on the reason for downvotes in response to someone else asking why it has been downvoted.

You're free to opine on the reason for downvotes too. This metacomment, however, is more noise than signal.

[OutOfHere → airstrike]

What you had claimed is not even a potential reason in the universe of reasons. It is a demonstration of bias, an excuse to refrain from reason.

One line summaries of comprehensible articles can get downvoted because they don't add value beyond what's already very clear from the article.

[airstrike → OutOfHere]

it is objectively a potential reason in the universe of reasons, but you're 100% free to believe whatever you want, even if it's wrong

and the fact that multiple people upvoted my comment at a minimum suggests others also believe it to be a possible explanation

i have no idea why you've chosen this particular hill to die on, when neither of us stands to profit from this protracted exchange

[OutOfHere → airstrike]

What happens is that some people routinely use your purported reason "it's LLM generated" as an excuse to try to discredit anything at all, and it's not right, irrespective of whether the material is LLM generated or not. Any material should be critiqued on the basis of its own merits and demerits, irrespective of who or what authored it. We need to shed the pro-human bias.

[airstrike → OutOfHere]

Hard disagree. In fact, I'm very much pro-human and anti-unqualified "we need to..." statements

Either way, I didn't even downvote the OP so you're beeping at the wrong human

[OutOfHere → airstrike]

I am pro-truth. Being pro-truth is more pro-human in the long term via indirect effect, than is being pro-human directly. Focusing on being pro-human can reward bad behavior among masses of humans, leading to their ultimate downfall. I will leave it at that.
