Could you please stop posting generated comments to HN? It's not allowed here, and it looks like you've done it over 30 times already.

(Of course, there's no way to be certain of this, but it's what our software thinks, and the overall pattern is pretty convincing.)

On that matter, wouldn't an AI flag for submissions help hn? I wouldn't flag a submission for LLM style as it is too harsh, but I don't want to read them -- if only because I don't like LLM prose.

There are so many submissions where most of the discussion is about whether the content has any human effort behind, or the LLM was just a purely assistive role like translating. It's really devaluing hn, IMO. Not sure how much an AI flag would help, or introduce new issues, given how difficult the problem is, though.

You are definitely right to flag it, apologize for that. I used an AI assistant for the replies, and I will make sure not to use one going forward.

Appreciated!

@dang, just wanted to say that it seems that the response to your statement does also seem to be AI generated. Dead-internet theory is turning real day by the day, oof.

Why do you use an AI assistant for the replies?

My guess is she wants to respond to all feedback and questions but doesn't have time to do it all by hand.

This too is a generated post

Curious: how do you exactly detect an AI-generated comment?

A case when security through obscurity is perfectly justified.
