An LLM is a lossy encyclopedia

Interestingly almost every single comment on this post is either trivial or incoherent compared to HN discussions from 10 years ago. I wonder if interecting with LLMs degrades the human capacity for coherent thought?

I think its more that most reasonable people already stopped going into these LLM discussion threads a long time ago.

At the start of a hype cycle there is a lot of good discussions, then most reasonable people have established their opinions and stop engaging with it.
