Replace? I added it as an afterthought after writing something I've come to be quite familiar with as an extra easy validation that people here should know the approximate value of. Adding that doesn't somehow "take away" validity. I really don't get this crazy mindset. Learn where AI is useful.


I think that it's rude to include in your message, any thoughts or afterthoughts you haven't yourself read.

I reason that this is because: Including it in your message is implicitly asking others to read it; all people are equal; asking an equal to do something you can do, but aren't willing to do, is sometimes considered rude.

If you've personally verified the claims and sources there, then feel free to make the claims yourself, citing the sources. Why not do that? That way, everybody wins :)


That is just illogical. It's like if I added some test results done on instrument X would be rude because that would, in your mind, require everyone else to do independent validation of the specific test instrument.

No. The same way people can implicitly trust things measured in specific ways, people know in what AI's are good at. If they include a ton of references from good domains, in a casual context that is already quite strong. Let's not pretend we're working with weapons technology or something lol :)
