If you feel the need to fix/edit your own comments with AI, keep in mind that this is not necessary at all. If someone can't figure out what you're saying, and don't care to try, they can run their LLM over it and have it summarize it with emojis, bullet points, and slightly changed content. You dont need to do that for all of us.

This puts the onus of being comprehensible to the reader, which isn't fair I think. If you can't get your point across in a way that is comprehensible, maybe don't post.
One potential use case is for individuals who cannot read or write English. They could use automatic translation to read HN and an LLM to translate their comment into English. One possibly would be to forbid such use.
They wouldn’t know what is lost in translation. Automatic translation is often far from perfect, even more so when translating single comments without context. It’s a crutch when nothing else is available, but it’s not a good way to have a conversation.
It depends. You could include an entire comment thread along with the article in the context for an LLM. This would significantly improve translation quality.
Deepl and other services exist, and they at least aren't slop cannons
