Going by the headlines, the matter seems to be settled. El País announces that Neanderthal men "chose" sapiens women. Science journal speaks of a "partner preference." National Geographic is already imagining the "Romeos" of prehistory. The Telegraph suggests that Neanderthals "had designs on" sapiens women.

    Somewhat OT, but I find it increasingly hard to read LLM assisted texts like this one. The meandering prose and the frequent repetitions just add to the general uck factor once you recognize the patterns.

      Agreed it’s quite noticeable and irksome. I think part of the weirdness for me isn’t just the wordy final product it’s the fact that I know I’m reading human supervised writing rather than someone’s thoughts on a topic. Teacher friends are feeling pretty uncanny valley about having to grade the philosophical writing of LLMs.

      I guess I was previously taking for granted when reading something that it meant at least one person cared about the topic and thought it was worth writing out. Not so anymore!
