Ah, this is the problem - the HN community is sensitive about picking up indications that an LLM has either generated or processed the language in a post.

As ericbarrett said, it's far better to write in your own voice. Mistakes in English matter far less than that!

If that’s the case, then mentioning using LLMs to help translate/organise what you want to say in your messages might be taken a bit better by others.

If you want to use LLMs to help express something you don’t know the words for in English then that is a good use for LLMs, if it’s called out. Otherwise your messages scream LLM bot to native speakers.

“You’re absolutely right”, “That hits different”, “Good call!” “–“ are all classic LLM giveaways.

I’m not a moderator here, so you don’t have to listen to me either way.

you should use your own words. i like them a lot more than with the LLM filter.
