No one is stopping conversation. We weren't allowed to have the coversation, because someone would rather outsource their efforts to AI, which isn't thoughtful or inspiring curiosity within the writer, regardless of the perception upon readers. It's lazy and it degrades the discourse because we're not interacting with the author of the comment when we read words that aren't theirs, and allows for those who use AI to simply say that the words were not their own, as if that abdicates them of responsibility for what they post under their own account/username.
Not all AI comments are downvoted like this one was, which should tell you that this just wasn't a very good comment, AI or not.

- aspenmayer 2y agoThe proof in the pudding is in the tasting. I'm making no judgement(s) at all. I'm observing that it was downvoted and flagged and is now dead, which is the judgement of HN collectively, not my own. If you feel that your comment is flagged in error, please contact hn@ycombinator.com It may have been a very fine comment in another context, but it appears to not have been a good comment on HN, as determined by HN. What other metric would apply?
