Christ almighty people, even the Notes app on my iPhone (frustratingly, when you're typing something destined to be pasted in a console or, apparently a comment on HN) will "correct" quotes to the squirrelly quotes and my dashes to em dashes. I never want them and when I find them troublesome I will programmatically remove them before pasting, but in this case I didn't think they would bother anything. I didn't think anyone would want to read the 12 pages or so I had written on the topic so I pasted as-is. I'm not using an LLM to write for me. Summarize for brevity at times, sure, but my thoughts are my own. (Punctuation, perhaps not. I've written about my frustration with unwanted "smart" punctuation and the principle of least astonishment elsewhere. It is frustrating.) If I thought you cared enough about my thoughts on synthetic diamond-making (from a non-domain expert) I'd post the entire thing for your reading pleasure, but I gather you're more interested in trying to make me look like I'm using an LLM to write my replies. Here, from my phone, directly into the comment field, I am certain there are no "tells" that the content may have been typed elsewhere and summarized for brevity. Already this is more time talking about something off-topic than I'd hoped for. I was genuinely excited that there was something topical that came up on this obscure synthetic diamonds topic I had written and thought extensively about, and rushed to share what I had hoped would come across as a palatable sized summary of such. (You might be surprised to read me admit that I can be overly loquacious.) I'll shaddup already but this tendency for me to ramble on when something could have been said with far fewer words is exactly what I thought might be a good use case for summarization. Y'know, got a lot to say but trying to be respectful of other people's time and all. <|ENDTEXT>

Just take the L and don't paste AI slop here again.
