Okay yeah those are all posts that won Best of LessWrong. We generate like 8 AI descriptions, and then a LW teammate goes through, picks the best starting one, and then fine-tunes it to create the spotlights you see at the top of the page. (Sometimes this involves mostly rewriting it, sometimes we end up mostly sticking with the existing one).
Ah, so it really was an AI summary of a post that is totally unlabeled? An amusing twist.
Even with what appears to be a fair amount of fine-tuning, it still reads like unlabeled AI text, which is maybe why I found it so jarring. Possibly a label could help, then?
(though honestly, it’s pretty weird to not see the first paragraph, so even if the AI thing doesn’t ring as important to you, some kind of differentiating label would be REALLY HELPFUL when the expected POV is altered after the fact.)
(RE parenthetical: I heavily suspect you know this, but switching the POV to first person would be much much much worse and would lead me to skip posts I would assume read like AI text)
