This is the only reasonable take.

It's not worth polluting human-only spaces, particularly top tier ones like HN, with generated content--even when it's accurate.

Luckily I've not found a lot of that here. That which I do has usually been downvoted plenty.

Maybe we could have a new flag option, which became visible to everyone with enough "AI" votes so you could skip reading it.

What LLM generate is an amalgamation of human content they have been trained on. I get that you want what actual humans think, but that’s also basically a weighted amalgamation. Real, actual insight, is incredibly rare and I doubt you see much of it on HN (sorry guys; I’ll live with the downvotes).

  • Why do you suppose we come to HN if not for actual insight? There are other sites much better for getting an endless stream of weighted amalgamations of human content.

    • Coming here for insight does not in any way demonstrate that genuine insight is actually widely available here.

    • It’s obviously an amalgamation that’s weighted in favor of your interests.
