Liars gonna lie.

I've found that LLMs really democratize debate when issues like this arise!

Can't guarantee you'll win, but when someone bets you're not willing to RTFM to call their bluff-- Oh boy!

It's funny that you're replying with a recommendation to use LLMs when the parent comment is about how a search engine worked just fine.

If I google a question like that these days I'm likely to get an LLM response as the first result. The line is definitely blurred

The irony isn't lost on me, either.

Googling does result with a Gemini/AI response at the top.

I’m so tired of the “nothing ever happens” crowd. Y’all are absolutely exhausting and add nothing positive to the conversation. Assuming everyone on the internet is lying makes as little sense as assuming nobody on the internet is lying.

Edit: I guess I misunderstood the parent (look in the replies). I hate the phenomenon I’m describing so I’ll leave the comment but I don’t want to besmirch caminante’s good name!

Are you replying to the intended comment?

The parent said they were getting stonewalled by a colleague over a T/F. Maybe you're assuming I called the parent a liar...?

Yeah. I think your comment is being misunderstood.

This is an odd level of aggression. Life is too short.

caminanteOP4d ago

What do you propose instead?

edit: Nevermind. You shared your thoughts in a later comment above, dismissing the HN forum as vindictive.

life is too short to spend it drowning in misinformation. Calling someone out on a technical failure is 100% legit. How is it "aggressive" if they're clearly wrong?

Life is too short for liars.
