I still don’t understand why AI generated comments aren’t allowed. What’s to stop anyone from creating thousands of bots and flooding this site with thousands or millions of AI generated comments?
Obviously someone is going to do this. It may not be me, it may not be done today or tomorrow, but it’s coming. You can’t stop innovation or what’s coming. This site is woefully unprepared. So unless you figure out a way of keeping up with the times and allowing, you are in for a RUDE awakening. AI is faster, better, and smarter than any moderator.
- pvg 3y agobots aren’t allowed either, so the question is just ‘how does HN prevent abuse’. I don’t know the details but it seems to do fine in most cases. One really effective mechanism is users notice and squish misbehavior - with flags (as you found out) or by telling site admins about iffy things. As to why generated comments aren’t allowed, that’s mentioned in the mod verbiage I linked - it’s a site for human conversation and llm output is not that.
