Honestly, I think "human originated" is the only rule that actually matters because we can't stop LLMs from sounding smart anyway. If you wait for a technical ban on AI-generated text, you're just playing catch-up with tools that already pass as human.

The real point isn't stopping bad grammar, it's preserving the vibe. HN feels different because it's messy humans arguing, not optimized algorithms trying to be helpful.

Once we allow "good enough" AI content, the community stops feeling like a town square and starts feeling like a customer service chatbot. We need real people with actual stakes in their opinions, not just perfect outputs. Let's keep it human or leave it.

This comment may or may not have been generated with an LLM, but I won't tell and you can't prove it either way.

I can't prove it either way, but it's pretty clearly LLM-generated slop!
