That’s a pretty rude thing to say about my friend. I’d appreciate it if you could find a less condescending way to put this.
I would have just left this as a removeable react, but I can’t delete replied-to comments, and a mod immediately downvoted my “too combative” react, so I’m replying as a comment.
edit: I agree with all your other points near-unequivocally. I just feel like that particular phrasing implies, without writing down the justification for why, that JC needs love and support for the fact that they got manipulated. I agree they got manipulated by o3; I don’t think being roundabout about it is a good way to communicate it. (JC just went to sleep, but will probably roll eyes at my enthusiastic defense of their character, heh.)
I’m not sure if you’re reading in more rudeness than I intended to that phrase. I’ll try to clarify and then maybe you can tell me.
By “I feel for this person,” I mean “I think it’s understandable, even sympathetic, to have the mental model of LLMs that they do.” Is that how you interpreted it, and you’re saying it’s condescending for me to say that while also saying this person made a bunch of mistakes and is wrong?
On thing I do not mean, but which I now worry someone could get out, is “I feel sorry (or mockingly pretend to feel sorry) for this person because they’re such a pitiable wretch.”
edit: convinced by reply that I was misreading
