Maybe there can be a dedicated 'flag botspam' button?
Then again it's a nuanced issue. I see AI used in a large percentage of writing now, so would this rule apply to the article as well?
I find the above comment concerning, so I ask: to what degree is the above commenter calibrated to ground truth? How would they know? How would we know?

It seems to me comments like the above are overconfident in the worst ways.
But yeah, there isn't a way to prove it one way or the over, even when it's "obvious".
I saw in some schools they're using systems where you have to type the essay in a web app, and the web app analyzes your keystrokes to determine if you're human.
We already have flagging and downvoting?
It is against the rules though
What does [flagged] mean?
Users flagged the post as breaking the guidelines or otherwise not belonging on HN.
In other words, submissions get flagged that users believe don’t belong on HN. LLM-written submissions can be one such case.
Community moderation won't fix this problem. It can only be mitigated if the site owners invest significant resources in addressing it. And judging by how little YC actually invests in HN, I wouldn't hold my breath. This website will succumb to this problem just like most others.
