I understand how it was framed, the claim that they're getting 10-20 users per day claiming LLM-assisted breakthroughs is obviously not true. Click through to the moderation log at https://www.lesswrong.com/moderation#rejected-posts and they're barely getting 10-20 rejected posts and comments total per day. They're mostly a mix of spam, off-topic, AI-assisted slop, but it's not a deluge of people claiming to have awoken ChatGPT.
But even that isn't hitting the bullet points of the list in the main post. I think that checklist and the claim that this is a common problem are a just a common tactic on LessWrong to make the problem seem more widespread and/or better understood by the author.

I can find the posts they're talking about if I search through enough entries. One such example: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/LjceJrADBzWc74dNE/the-recogn...
