We need to start putting guardrails on hn to not allow those pointless comments complaining about usage of AI.
If you have nothing else to comment on then can you stop crying please?

Adds absolutely nothing to the discussion.
- User X posts some very AI-ish comment: "It's not X --- it's Y, and the reason is important...blah blah"
- User Y responds, taking the original at face value, and disagreeing or otherwise putting time into parsing the ideas in User X's post.
- Me, thinking: User Y is being duped, wasting their time, arguing with a ghost, and otherwise being taken for a ride
That's not my problem, it's User Y's, and they may have knowingly decided to respond even though User X is posting AI slop.
But a forum where that happens a lot doesn't seem like a good place.
