I thought your question was interesting. The ChatGPT quote was not. If I want to know what an LLM “thinks”, I can ask it. I have more respect for and am more interested in reading people’s thoughts than machine output.

I do appreciate your at least labeling at such, so I could skip over it.

If you're under the impression that all the content on here is 100% human, that's probably slightly optimistic, and the reason why I labeled it explicitly rather than regurgitating / rewording. That said, I'd rather read GPT output than skim the meta-discussion that ruins so many HN threads. Totally stoked that we're now contributing to that rather than talking about the actual content.

    Labeling isn’t the problem. Generated comments are against HN guidelines.

    You brought this meta-discussion on yourself and upon the rest of the community, knowing the likely result beforehand. It’s hard to say you’re not part of the problem you rail against when you create the initial start conditions for the thread.
