It makes me really, really happy that I know this insult. Might be the first time I’ve ever seen it used in text (at least text in a language that I can understand)

Someone touching my perfectly clean screen and leaving a fingerprint deeply angers me in a way that almost nothing else does. I don’t know why but it’s infuriating.

Because it was generated by a llm.

I did a search for the torque spec on a castle nut last week and the second result was for a nut (as in, food nuts that you eat) website and the llm had gone all in on nuts and added a page about castle nuts. It even generated an image of a castle for the top because… castle nut.

It proceeded to provide vague instructions and a torque recommendation of 2x the actual spec.

Then there was the other one about a small 4 stroke engine where it stated “other sites will say you don’t need to mix oil with gas but you absolutely must!” (You don’t and shouldn’t) … I wonder how many people have fucked up their shit by trusting llm garbage without knowing better.
