Insufficient Quality for AI Content. There’ve been a lot of new users coming to LessWrong recently interested in AI. To keep the site’s quality high and ensure stuff posted is interesting to the site’s users, we’re currently only accepting posts that meet a pretty high bar. 

If you want to try again, I recommend writing something short and to the point, focusing on your strongest argument, rather than a long, comprehensive essay. (This is fairly different from common academic norms.) We get lots of AI essays/papers every day and sadly most of them don't make very clear arguments, and we don't have time to review them all thoroughly. 

We look for good reasoning, making a new and interesting point, bringing new evidence, and/or building upon prior discussion. If you were rejected for this reason, possibly a good thing to do is read more existing material. The AI Intro Material wiki-tag is a good place, for example. 

We are sorry about this, but submissions from new users that are mostly just links to papers on open repositories (or similar) have usually indicated either crackpot-esque material, or AI-generated speculation. It's possible that this one is totally fine. Unfortunately, part of the trouble with separating valuable from confused speculative science or philosophy is that the ideas are quite complicated, accurately identifying whether they have flaws is very time intensive, and we don't have time to do that for every new user presenting a speculative theory or framing (which are usually wrong).

Separately, LessWrong users are also quite unlikely to follow such links to read the content without other indications that it would be worth their time (like being familiar with the author), so this format of submission is pretty strongly discouraged without at least a brief summary or set of excerpts that would motivate a reader to read the full thing.

Not obviously not Language Model. Sometimes we get posts or comments that where it's not clearly human generated. 

LLM content is generally not good enough for LessWrong, and in particular we don't want it from new users who haven't demonstrated a more general track record of good content.  See our current policy on LLM content. 

We caution that LLMs tend to agree with you regardless of what you're saying, and don't have good enough judgment to evaluate content. If you're talking extensively with LLMs to develop your ideas (especially if you're talking about philosophy, physics, or AI) and you've been rejected here, you are most likely not going to get approved on LessWrong on those topics. You could read the Sequences Highlights to catch up the site basics, and if you try submitting again, focus on much narrower topics.

If your post/comment was not generated by an LLM and you think the rejection was a mistake, message us on intercom to convince us you're a real person. We may or may not allow the particular content you were trying to post, depending on circumstances.
