We appreciate you posting your work and engaging in the discussion. But it's a no-no on HN to post comments that are generated (including polished or translated) by LLMs or other text-generation tools.

See https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html#generated and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47340079.

Please write all comments by hand, from your own thoughts, and resist the temptation to copy+paste anything from a chatbot or translation tool.

The article is also AI, I recognize its style from a mile away. I don't mind it super much when it's yapping like this about what it did for the tasks that I myself gave it, but I don't enjoy it for reading pleasure on the off-times.

Totally AI-generated, sure. But saying "No AI edits" at all is going way too far, IMO. Taken to its logical extreme, that even bans using a spell-checker. And what about non native English speakers? Is it really wrong for them to use a translation tool so they can participate?

I mean, it's y'all's site, you can do what you want. But FWIW, I think making that too much of an absolute "bright line" is a net negative for HN.

		> to its logical extreme, that even bans using a spell-checker But we're not taking it to that logical extreme. We're fine with using LLMs for checking of spelling and grammar, or for suggesting improvements to text you've authored yourself, and then using your own human judgement to apply the changes back into your text. What we are saying is: don't copy+paste something from an LLM chatbot or translation tool into the Hacker News comment box and submit it.
