This platform sees high front page placement / hundreds of votes for AI-written … uh sorry I mean “I used the AI to clean up my notes” … content daily.
I have an allergic reaction to it and flag, but clearly a majority of the hn voting population appreciates it, so if it isn’t banned it will continue.
I think the majority of HN users don't even read the article and just use the headline as a conversation starter.
That’s probably right; you can often spot an LLM-assisted post from the overly dramatic title.
Anecdotally, though, these articles seem to have a disproportionate number of, “Wow, this article is so interesting & insightful”-class comments. I really have come around to accepting that a big part of the audience here enjoys what LLM’s produce given hn-ish prompts.
I’d rather see the prompt!
Oh look, another one this morning at #3:

I use writing to think - I also happen to be really good at typing so fast my hands don't coordinate. And I am a terrible speller.
If I wanted to publish my writing, people would focus on that, and not the content of the writing. If I run it through Kimi K2, people will focus on my ideas.
