Why does it matter? The information in the post still accurately captures a sentiment held by many people.

The complaint is definitely getting old. I wonder how many HN threads at this point don't have someone speculating about AI-generated content.

Hopefully @dang adds something to the guidelines to discourage it.

AI generated content in the comments is already prohibited. I hope we extend the restrictions to submissions entirely.

I would rather people who don't currently have a voice due to language barriers or simply poor communications skills be able to use LLMs than try to gatekeep them.

And I'm certainly weary of "someone used an em-dash, must be GPT" low-value comments.

I certainly hope we gatekeep them. "I just need my hallucinatory text generator to translate for me" -> "I just need my hallucinatory text generator to refine my thoughts for me" -> "I just need my hallucinatory text generator to generate my comment for me". This is a damn near antithesis of this place.

I hope so. Random accusations of "this feels like AI" don't add anything to the conversation and are genuinely harmful to those accused when there is no AI involved.

AI has it's demons, for sure, but there is an awful lot of jumping at ghosts these days.
