Others will understand, but won't regard that as worthy. That's a difference.

I don't get where this class/status/worthiness ties into HN comments ?

I get decent feedback most of the time, and I read interesting stuff, it's the easiest way I found to stay in the loop in our industry. What are you guys commenting for ?

Worthy to continue the discourse. Everyone claims that one doesn't discriminate a badly written English text from a good one, but only because they haven't actually encountered such text after all. There surely exists a threshold for "badness" and an outright ban of LLMs means that you are not even given a chance to lower that badness. That is a discrimination, you like or not.

Nobody will notice if you use LLMs as long as it doesn’t sound like an LLM. But sounding like an LLM is as “bad” as badly written English, so you’ll get looked down upon either way in that case.

It’s not without reason that bad English is taken as a signifier, and for similar reasons LLM-speak is taken as a signifier as well.

And that’s their problem.
