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

| ▲ | mystraline 8 hours ago | parent [-] | | Its a dumb and toothless rule. How do we detect that? Counting emdashes? "If not this but that"? 'I am using AI'. (Username with bot or claw or agent) Where this is headed is a LLM being able to control a KVM connection, and the LLM and associated software doesnt exist on the VM. And naturally, you run anti-VM detection software. That way theres no API, other than the actual webpage UI. Thats ALSO a API. |

| I don't see which of those he violated? Also from the guidelines: "HN is for conversation between humans." Granted, it's under comment guidelines, but I think it's acting in the spirit of the rule to point out AI output. |

| ▲ | ryandrake 9 hours ago | parent [-] | | If you think it's AI slop, just flag the article and move on. Of all the stupid reasons people flag articles unfairly on HN, finally we have a good reason to flag them, and instead people comment. | | |
| ▲ | furyofantares 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | This is false, that I commented instead of flagging. Of course I also flagged it. I'm flagging stuff every day. It sucks. There's a problem where this stuff constantly gets upvoted, presumably because it looks OK if you skim it and it's a good jumping off point for comments. I continue to comment about it because I hope we figure out how to stop this stuff making it to the front page so often. |

| Thank you. By the end of 2026, the same snarky "This article was written by LLM" comment is going to be posted on every single article on HN. It's becoming pointless to point out. |

| ▲ | josephg 9 hours ago | parent [-] | | There's still plenty of human authored content out there. No need to post slop on HN. My rule is: If you can't be bothered writing an article, don't expect me to read it. | | |
| ▲ | ryandrake 9 hours ago | parent [-] | | I'm just saying it's probably better to just flag the article than it is to post "This was written by an LLM" for the 210th time. | | |
