What's the purpose of using an LLM to write a comment here?

"Hey, someone on the Internet used decent diction! Obviously, this means I must accuse them of being a bot!"

(Hey Dang. Can we get a ban button? There's a few people here that are impossible to conduct rational discourse with. My sanity would improve if they were simply gone from my view.)

You could create a browser user script to do it locally.

That's not a terrible idea.

An extra UI element or two should be enough. Maybe with sticky options for collapse-by-default or hide-by-default at the top of each HN comment section.

And the list of usernames can be stored and edited in the purveyor's HN bio (in plain text, like a monster), so that it works automatically across devices.

You've edited the response since you posted it. I think there's a difference between diction and the standard output of ChatGPT et al.

I have trouble believing that you're pointing this out in good faith.

There is an extension called HN Friends that allows to add information to a tooltip for users and shows a hint that there exists such information.

Use this as you like.

Upvoted because this stinks to high hell of an LLM response. Half the GPs comments seem to be in a similar vein. It’s such a shame but you can’t fight the trolls so don’t take it to heart.

Your LLM detector is broken.

I've just skimmed through the first handful of pages with ssl-3's comments and none of them seem particularly LLM-like.

Whether or not they did use an LLM to refine, what does it matter? To call them a troll for contributing to discourse is wild.
