I think this post is directionally correct, extremely important, and also kind of waffling and unhinged (though I do get that some topics are inherently hard to be hinged about, and I appreciate the effort). I’d much prefer a version that’s specifically about the thing it’s about.
I tried to edit it to fix it, and you can’t edit a post in that state!. Well… no… even worse: you can edit for an hour (which I did) but then you can’t save (which is a stupid big in LW’s software).
Can’t you copypaste into Notepad, then make a fresh post? I wouldn’t call that censorship.
LLM text was detected automatically, and my post was censored automatically.
If it was all correctly tagged,
like this,
then I agree this is a problem and the site should have had a less itchy trigger finger. People—especially people with high karma and long posting histories—should be able to post AI conversations if they want, and other people should be able to ignore them if they want.
I don’t think you realize how ambiguous that thing you just said is. Do you mean “we should be purging any post which is majority LLM-written, even if LLM parts are in the blocks”, or “our algorithm should ignore all text in LLM-marked blocks when deciding whether to accuse a post of too-much-LLM-text”?
(If the former, I’m pretty surprised, not least because I posted a Quick Taketwo months ago which was (openly) >50% LLM-written (on a topic adjacent to OP’s, even!), and that got through fine.)

I am pretty sure we are correctly filtering out any LLM-written content in LLM-content blocks. But if we aren’t, we should definitely fix it!

This one.
