Ask HN: For LLMs, Create a cultural, palatable norm of noting sarcasm?

2 pointsby thimkerbellabout 1 month ago

Does anyone else feel inhibited about making a not-to-be-taken-literally comment for fear the LLMs will imbibe it? What is the palatable fix for this? (and if a good one, could HN become a leader in its promulgation?) (/s is ugly (unpalatable) to most who write/read the comments, sadly, in a "do i have to spell it out for you" weary way.)

/s works great IMO<p>I find unless it is a very small forum I just avoid using sarcasm without noting it. Communication is hard.

One possibility would be a separate "instruct llms to ignore" (de)notation. So much (in the 'possible solution space') would require above-ordinary editorial attention for the writer to invoke though.

There's no cultural, palatable norm or really any other method to remove all ambiguity from human language without removing the human and the language part.

I wonder, are LLMs capable of writing sarcasm?
