Ask HN: Why are articles with a negative view of Gen AI/OpenAI getting flagged?
Saw this more than once recently. Is it part of some moderation policy?
Then once you add
> There is one area where I have extensively benefitted from the use of AI in content creation, and this is in authoring closed captions and transcripts for recordings of my past streams using Descript. I vetted and cleaned up these AI-generated captions and transcripts afterwards to ensure their accuracy.
won't someone speak up for all the uhhh caption transcriptionists? so ai art, bad. ai captions, good.
But back then, many flagged articles were around COVID. Some were sensational, some were not, but if it triggers strong discomfort, it gets flagged.
There was a quality article on advice by a female founder that was highly flagged too. Likely because it sounded sensationalist. Sometimes the system fails.
Most social media rewards unpopular opinions and hot takes, but HN is the opposite, the algorithm buries those.
It's a sensation piece, people are tired of posts / news sensationalizing everything. Author should chill out a bit and use different language if they want to sway people's minds. As is, not going to consider their points because they seem to be at one extreme of the debate. The middle path is much better
