      Or the same for lists?

            @ekopalypse,

            When @cletos asked:

            Can one write … text in columns?

            how do you know they didn’t mean like word-processor style where you can freely edit one column without disturbing the other?

              I think perhaps @Ekopalypse put as much effort into his answer, as the OP did into crafting his question. :-)

                @alan-kilborn I was truly wondering, and still am, if the above exchange was a fairly sophisticated one carrying fairly complex information, but in a very terse way, made possible by both guys having deep facility with a specialized vocabulary unfamiliar to me.

                But you did make me laugh.

                And then I remembered about the bots.

                I saw some bot posts (here, maybe) before they were deleted by the moderator, and they were pretty darn good at what they were trying to do (which was to replicate a text’s meaning only using not-trivially different sentence structure, word choice and such), sometimes becoming more pleasing to read than the human-made original.

                So, this could be the next phase of the development program: synthesizing novel posts to tech forums that are convincing enough to elicit replies.

                  Hopefully not, because @Cletos has been around longer than I have. And if the bots were that convincing in 2015, then I presume that the bots have been preventing continued AI research from being as convincing, to hide the fact that the 2015 models are already in control.

                  Or, less paranoid, that Cletos lost control of his account to a 2022 bot.

                    Alan nailed it. My answer may not be wrong, but it may not be quite right either, but it’s hard to say without more details of what it’s actually about.
