No, I do not quite think that is what they wrote here. But what's the thought process here? It's hard for me even to understand if the first scare quote is supposed to be from someone being critical or someone responding to the critique. It seems like it could apply to both?
I am not the author, but quite curious to know what prevented comprehension here? Or I guess what made it feel lazy? I'm not saying its gonna win a Pulitzer but it is at minimum fine prose to me.
Or is the laziness here more concerning the intellectual argument at play? I offer that, but it seems you are asking us what the argument is, so I know it doesn't make sense.
I have been a fool in the past so I always like to read the thing I want to offer an opinion on, even if I got to hold my nose about it. It helps a lot in refining critique and clarifying one's own ideas even if they disagree with the material. But also YMMV!
> what prevented comprehension here?
This is an arrogant and unwarranted assumption. What's preventing your comprehension of this discussion?
The article sets up a straw man - the person who can convincingly fake being an expert without actually being one - and then demolishes it.
This doesn't resemble anything that I've experienced from LLM use in the real world. In my experience, amateur use of LLM is easily detected and exposed, and expert use is useful as a force multiplier.
I suppose the "Dunning-Kruger" accusation might apply to the first one, but I'm not convinced - the people doing that are usually very aware that they're faking their attempt at projecting expertise, and this comes across in all sorts of ways.
gp asked us what the blog is arguing, doesn't seem too unwarranted to assume they didn't comprehend? Or am I missing something?
Also, just fwiw, I really tried but I am truly having trouble comprehending what you are saying, or at least how it bears on the article? It is 8-9 short paragraphs long, can you like point to wear he demolishes the straw man? Or like what does that even mean to you? Isn't it a good thing to demolish a straw man? Given that it is fallacy?
Trying to be charitable here parsing this: I don't think Dunning-Kruger really speaks to one's ability to convince right? Doesn't it really manifest when we don't actually need to be convincing to anyone? This is the definitional thing about it really: you are precisely not aware you are "faking" it, you think you are doing really great!
