Please don't post snarky comments attacking other users like this on HN, no matter what you're replying to. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.
Point taken, but I'd like to raise some serious questions - is the 18 millionth post of someone whining about having to read text written by an LLM that much more of a substantive contribution?
Is it "thoughtful criticism" to have the same pedantic complaint made everywhere?
Is offering zero feedback to OP other than whining about the presence of LLM-written text in a README not a "shallow dismissal"?
What about "Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting."?
Or is snark the only rule that matters enough to warrant reminders about rules?
Sorry for inappropriately handling the frustration I get with this kind of repetitive, shallow, pedantic no-value-add whining clogging up HN any time any LLM-generated text ever accompanies any part of a featured article / link that never gets the same kind of warnings or moderation.
The people who make these kinds of complaints need to accept that LLM-generated text is a fact of life now - even in (or perhaps especially in) interesting technical projects. We all heard their complaints the first time, and the fiftieth time, and the five thousandth time - those complaints added no value to the relevant discussions then and they add no value to the discussion here, it's just bullies taking advantage of the latest snobby, diminutive way to shit on other people's work over what amounts to little more than subjective cosmetic preferences.
A tiny CPU-only TTS model is awesome. Why is it appropriate to derail the discussion about the actual technical innovation here with a low-effort complaint that's so common it has become a trope?
We have frequently asked users not to make public accusations of posting LLM-generated content, so much so that several of the most engaged HN users routinely flag these kinds of comments and post their own reminders not to do it, and email us to let us know about it.
That is the right way to deal with undesirable activity on HN: flagging, emailing us so we can take action, and if replies are to be posted, expressing them with respect and kindness as the guidelines ask of us.
The problem with a reply like yours – one that is much worse than an already-bad comment – is that it becomes the highest-priority comment for us to respond to, and makes it harder for us to deal with the original comment with our normal approaches.
