I think publicly leveling accusations against other commenters downgrades the quality of the conversation—and it's against the forum rules too.
You can email the mods if it's something that can be moderated, but please keep it private! It makes things worse if this kind of accusation happens to be wrong. (Also makes things worse if it's right). Often it's singling out an actual, real person for unpleasant scrutiny they didn't expect or want.
"Remember the human."
Which rule did I break, exactly? I just stated a fact.
We are asked not to, like,
> "Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents, and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll look at the data."
I understand your point. And I would agree if the comment would be ambiguous. But it's clearly AI. And I'm honestly really tired of AI slop. I can accept AI helping one person to understand something, or helping one to build an argument. But copying and pasting is a totally different thing.
