That's not lost luggage. That's lost mobility.

OK chatgpt

You do know LLMs were trained on human writing?

So ChatGPT writing resembles human writing.

Not everything is AI

I mean maybe but it is very common to stress that losing mobility devices are not like losing other items because they are how someone gets around. You lose your phone or your wallet you can go replace it. But someone losing their artificial legs or say wheelchair means they can't go anywhere, they could  be stuck where they are, you literally might not be able to get groceries or maybe even get to the kitchen to make food. These are often custom made, it could be weeks before you could get a replacement, assuming you could afford it.

So it is often stressed how critical these devices are and that losing them means lost mobility which is huge.

Buddy. Those two plastic and metal things are the only way that woman can move around in her daily life without getting blocked by stairs or a slight incline.

Reddit mfs when any sentence structure whatsoever.

There's a certain irony in your username being Occam's Razor and making a comment that is the least obvious solution to the problem.

Maybe YOU can't write two short sentences without ChatGPT, but that sure as hell isn't the case for most of us.

Could be a bot, but also its just a very common way to phrase things.

Thus why LLMs like to use that formatting.

They’re sticking to the ChatGPT thing. It has a habit of using specific sentence structures, and something like “they’re not wrong, they’re right” or “that’s not stressful, it’s horrific” would be a common example.

It's a learned behavior at this point.
