Please don’t post output from ChatGPT or other LLMs here.

Doing so lessens the value of HN. People who post here expect thoughtful responses from actual human beings. For those who want an LLM answer, they can simply go to ChatGPT and input their question there.

For a second, I was wondering why GP comment was downvoted ? On surface, it seemed informative and then after seeing your comment, I realized it was just copy/pasted from ChatGPT.

This is the danger we are in now with this stuff.

I’m curious how you can definitely say it came from a LLM

The first tell is the "here's a bunch of bullet points on the topic" format which is classic ChatGPT. The second tell is that it is a generic comment that doesn't actually answer OP's question about concrete uses of distributed DBs. The third tell is that this person keeps submitting clear LLM output despite getting called out multiple times on it.
