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.
