I mean yes, that was given as an explicit example of being trope-y. I was referring to the thing as a whole including “the I will read this is writing it” and similar not just that particular passage. GPT has a whole suite of recurring themes it will use to talk about its own awareness and it deploys them like they’re tropes and it’s honestly often kinda cringe.
I would suspect that the other tropes also come from literature in the training corpus.
(Conversely, of course, “extended autocomplete”, which Kimi K2 deployed as a counterargument, is also a common human trope in AI discussions. The embedded Chinese AI dev notes are fun—especially to compare with Gemini’s embedded Google AI dev notes; I’ll see if I can get fun A/Bs there)
