So it's not a secret, why you don't add this upfront to the report? The report itself is even about LLMs, makes a lot of sense to disclose your usage of them for writing the report, especially when you're presenting evidence that boils down to LLMs being infallible.
I think you mean fallible.
It's also a bit weird to "disclose use of LLMs". It rubs me wrong, the same way parents breathlessly talking about "screen time" rubbed me wrong: it's too general, and with such a broad brush, it's going to sweep up a bunch of perfectly fine usage with a bunch of dubious usage. On the flip side, if folks do start disclosing all the time, it's going to turn into a Prop 65 warnings in CA, where everything says it has lead in it, so folks pretty much ignore it and move on.
If the report's conclusions and reasoning lean on LLMs, or if the data processing itself was done with LLMs, that would be interesting, and I wouldn't treat it as some sort of disclosure, but rather discuss it under methodology. Using LLMs to polish the language a bit after writing an initial draft with key findings? Much less interesting.
I realize this is now a religious issue, and some folks are allergic to anything that touched an LLM. I just don't think that perspective is going to end up having a good shelf life.
It's an omission on my side. Will add in the next version.
I think you might be able to edit the website to add this, even if you aren't willing to make the report a bit more honest up front.
I'm sure you realize that this website/article will now be sent around to a lot of people, many who don't realize exactly how this was written, because they don't read HN comments, they only skim the page contents, and I think most would (incorrectly) assume a report about infallible LLMs to not be written by LLMs, especially when the authors are the same ones who made the report itself.
fyi, "infallible" means never wrong, never failing, never making a mistake.
Next time, we’d prefer to read your actual voice over LLM.
