LLMs do, in fact, claim to generate content for you. If that content requires expert vetting in order to be useful, then LLMs aren't useful. Experts can already generate their own content.
Good, good. Links in response to.queries. So you're saying you wouldn't out random crap you find online into a paper w/o vetting it ... and this is meant to be a critique if Google search?
Of course, it so happens that LLM can't even generate links to (real) articles consistently.
Google search doesn't actually generate output,.friend.

You'll never convince me the man has an inner life.
Groups are weird. In British English, I think you'd be right, but in American English it goes the other way.
Or maybe I have it backwards.
Anyway, one of them always treat the name of a group as if it's singular, the other as if it's always plural.
So, "Pink Floyd are..." vs "The Eagles is..."
yikes.
yes, good call.
I keep bringing weird little games to the table. Yesterday, after a session of Desperation Engine, I asked my players if they'd prefer something more conventional, like a dungeon crawl.
"I prefer this," they said.
Me too, but I bet I'll keep feeling like I ought to be offering dungeon crawls.

That this account (by Jay, who has a vested interest in portraying herself well) is still somehow fairer to all parties; less muddled around numbers and chronology; and *less editorialised* than the initial journalistic scoop says a lot about how this story was handled.
a response to the @rascal.news article on yazeba's bed & breakfast, clarifying some misunderstandings and (hopefully) providing a clearer explanation of what happened

a comment from will in the NEOPETS RPG: if you give players a stack of dynamite, they're going to explode neopets. it's creating a possibility space where neopets end up painting the room (when all i wanted to do was paint the neopets)
a comment from will in the neopets rpg google doc: I think when you give me a hammer (the rules of this game) i'm going to swing at nails (kill neopets).
