There is already an HN guideline against submitting AI-generated text.

> Don't post generated text or AI-edited text. HN is for conversation between humans.

I think it's fair to discuss whether a post violates the guidelines. I guess it would also be okay to flag in that case?

I think OP was rather suggesting that we have a guideline to avoid comments about whether something was written by AI or not.

Without fail, every comment section will have posts by people talking about how something is AI generated. Yeah we get it. It used to be novel to spot this, but now most people are pretty good at spotting it too and/or don't care.

It's about as meaningful as noting an article is written in English.

Well, my bad. I won't ask dumb questions like "was this written by AI".
