> comments are filled with random LLM bots
Let's say you're right. What good is going to come from posting a comment calling attention to that? As far as I can tell, that's just more noise masking whatever signal is present in the conversation.
The guidelines also say:
Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents, and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll look at the data.
I would think "accusations of comments being authored by an LLM" would fall into this regime. Probably better to just email the mods, than posting a comment that nobody wants to read, and which is not guaranteed to be seen or acted on by the mods.
