I've shown a product on HN in both human-authored, and LLM-assisted, versions. Neither got traction. When I showed my human-authored submission to LLMs they summarised it as "not a good post likely to gain traction" because, basically "too British in tone". The initial attempt at generating post copy for the LLM-assisted version was surprisingly similar to the OP's critique. Maybe it would've gained more traction - but I hated it (far too boastful) so I told the LLM to pull back on the marketing crap and make it shorter.
Of course the most obvious response is that the product is too niche for general interest. Still, I'll stick to human-authored in the future because HN always needs more "British".
