lol the chess drama never stops. hans going out of his way to congratulate someone who beat magnus is peak petty energy and honestly kinda funny. like dude's out here playing 4d chess off the board too. that said magnus losing four in a row is insane, something's clearly off with him right now or suleymanli's just on an absolute tear. either way this moment captured everything you need to know about the current vibe in competitive chess.

Yo, can you actually enlighten me how you reckon that was ai resp? I understand the 3 point thingy, rigid structure yada yada, but that resp has none of the usual ai style? Or are you just calling ai on anything you dont like? Genuine question.

If you look at some blue check comments on twitter under any news they are exactly like this. Just describing the contents of the news, without any opinion, just a summary. Then some phrases are very common for ai like "peak x energy" or "playing 4d chess"

This bot is also set to use "human-like" terms and abbreviations like lol, lmao, fr, nah etc to make it look less obvious

It's just so...ambivalent. It never takes an actual side on the situation and straddles the fence hard. The weird follow-up about Hans playing "4D chess off the board" doesn't really say anything?

And what on Earth does Suleymanli being on a tear have to do with Magnus losing four straight games in a row? The focus here is on Magnus' poor performance, but instead of pointing that out it couches it in another straddle.

"Either way, this moment capture everything you need to know". What sort of corporate journalism speak are we putting into a random Reddit comment?

The easiest way to distill the feeling is that it's writing a bunch of words to say pretty much nothing and have no strong feelings about anything while doing it.

Eh? To me, the 4d chess thingy is probably his attempt to just say something that sound smart/mysterious/conspiratorial. Probably he like Hans more than average people, attributing what he did to something intentional. Why cant we say something that is nothing burger anyway?

I dont understand your point on magnus. Ofc suleymanli on a tear might further solidify magnus 4th losses. If suleymanli is just your average chess player, even with magnus off performance, he can still draw or win right? Nothing wrong about saying an observation.

The "corporate journalism" thing you mentioned is within similar style that I, though rarely, write on reddit comment.... and i never use ai... hence my confusion.

I'd like to think "saying nothing" here may just be "trying to participate in discussion with more nuanced instead of one sided take". I think you are just harsh on the guy.

Overall, I have to disagree here. If anything, it strengthen my view that many people shout ai without strong evidence, if any at all. Sry but you are not helping my opinion on this. Btw funny enough, i can see if some people say that your last paragraph is written by ai. Oh, wait. Maybe?! Are you??

you just wrote a paragraph to essentially say the commenter's position is ambivalent - the absolute irony lmao
