  I don't think it will be explicitly added to the guidelines (we've talked about it); the moderation policies also include a much larger body of "case law" [1]. But we've always wanted HN to be for interaction between humans, and also to avoid comments that are tl;dr summaries [2-6], which is a lot of what the LLM-generated comments are here. That policy goes back to long before LLMs were commonplace.

    Only that it's just a bit harder for those of use that like to some occasional lightweight stewardship (maybe you're discouraging that) - I know when to point to the guidelines pretty easily, I guess in future for this instance... I'll actually just point to this interaction!!! :D

      We love it when community members do lightweight stewardship! Thanks for doing it. And yes with "case law", by design we like to be able to point to older comments explaining the principle, as dang explained here four years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27307680 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27307680
