I used voice dictation to transcribe my rambling thoughts on the article, which was thereafter re-arranged into a still verbose but somewhat more coherent reply. I should have taken the time to reword it properly - my laziness is on me.
I was not aware the rule against AI-assited text at the time, and will be more careful next time. Nonetheless, I find it unfortunate that we've spend more time talking about AI usage in a comment, than the blog which prompted it.
In case it helps at all: I post that type of reply (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...) precisely when the commenter is a good contributor who we don't want to get dinged by HN's software. Usually it turns out that people weren't aware of the rule (as was the case here).
(I've marked the subthread offtopic and collapsed it now)
