I have a kid with severe written language issues, and the utilisation of STT w/ a LLM-powered edit has unlocked a whole world that was previously inaccessible.

What is amazing is it would have remained so just a couple of years ago!

Agreed... there's often other perspectives people never thought of like this, which is why they say "strong opinions about issues do not emerge from deep understanding."

Even if you're just inexperienced in the language you're communicating in and are trying to have better conversations, it's very helpful.

For cases like that, I say just don't tell people... I think it's unlikely anyone will be able to tell either way.

Come on dude, its obviously just to prevent spam and not for your super specific case

These are just guidelines

    Title literally says “AI-edited comments”.

      Sure, despite another guideline saying:

      > Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.

      the title being the changelog is still probably the better choice because the discussion here and linked are about guidelines in the page rather than absolute rules or a discussion about the title alone.

      Many of the other guidelines have exceptions too, and various strengths. E.g. "Throwaway accounts are ok for sensitive information..." is a pretty weak guideline in practice while "If the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective..." is often over-enforced by automatic tooling and stuff like "Please don't use uppercase for emphasis..." CAN sometimes just make sense where a use of italics might easily get missed WHILE OTHER TIMES BEING THE REASON THE GUIDELINE WAS ADDED.

      Edit: Well I wasted my time writing that as dang said it better anyways https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47342616

      > HN is for conversation between humans.

      It also says that.

      The intent of the guidelines are important. Using AI to generate the STT is fine. The conversation is still between humans.
