You must be new around here.

Since you sound sincere: "I have bad news for you" and its variant "Boy, do I have some bad news for you" are a rhetorical 2000s internet-specific stock reply format with a dry, corrective, often smug setup that means "your assumptions are wrong". More recently, it got turned into memes.

In this specific case the unstated assumption being that human output inherently bears originality, as opposed to AI output.

Proper use of that phrase is an art form, a rhetorical flourish reserved for use by those skilled in the art of the Internet put-down, and elicits a soft knowing smile in those that enjoy banter. :-) Obviously, @mjec on lobste.rs is one so skilled.

That you failed to recognize it, twice, marks you as human, and one that's not very savvy in the ways of the Internet, or able to distinguish slop from art. Any decently trained AI would have recognized it immediately.

And no, I don't hold any of those things I named dear enough to not call them slop, because, dude, I did call them slop...

LOL

This is too much fun. Sorry that it came at your expense, I guess.

I'll have to play with the 2B and 9B models to see if they fail to recognize the phrase. The bigger models all recognize it.

LOL

Now get off my lawn ;-)

PS: that burning sensation you likely feel around your ears is the subliminal recognition that, in this exchange, ai is winning out over a human, and it's not even present...

Again, apologies that my merriment is at your expense. Hopefully you don't take yourself too seriously :-)
