HN autokills comments it detects as LLM. I think maybe you're not giving HN enough credit. :)

HN front page is about 25% LLM written blog posts at any given time.

		There’s no rule against submitting LLM-written—ahem, “cleaned up my notes”—articles, just comments.

I have read enough “you are replying to an LLM” comments that I am pretty sure this is still a hit or miss process.

		Why do you think those comments are accurate? Maybe those comments are by LLMs? If you believe crowd wisdom on its face, you will have big problems with LLMs.

It needs help. I often pipe my screed though an LLM and post it. I do request that it use a 10th grade reading level, and no emdashes.

For giggles, here's how it would look for this comment. Rather meta, but in this case it removed the "It needs hellp" so here we are.

I often run my screed through an LLM before posting. I ask it to keep the writing at about a 10th grade reading level and to avoid em dashes.

The question is how reliable that detection is.
