Looks like someone asked ChatGPT, not their friend lol
“Human beings then do…”
That seems like a perfectly normal phrase...
YES I TOO BELIEVE IT TO BE A COMPLETELY NORMAL PHRASE USED BY US AVERAGE HUMANS ALL THE TIME
Especially in context, where it’s contrasting QA testers and ‘normal’ people.
It would probably take longer to prompt ChatGPT to write this than it would to just write it. It’s two short paragraphs.
Perfectly cromulent, even.
People speak weird all the time, and LLMs are trained on people. Some aren't native speakers, some just like to omit verbs, nouns, or tenses when it seems obvious and they want to be expedient, some just do it for fun or laziness (see, l33t speak and or early texting, typos).
LLMs are trained on human input, so of course it on occasion uses our bad habits. Thinking like your comment suggests is what gets people who really wrote their own stuff in trouble, because people think they can identify stuff like this more than they actually can.
You do agree that it’s a weird way of saying it though, which is all I was making fun of. It’s similar verbiage an AI would use. I get it, but lighten up lol
