It has become a proxy for "I don't like this article, so it must be a LLM"
To me, it feels like lazy karma farming, as these comments often do get a few upvotes.
And of course, accuse a 100 posts if being LLM, you are guaranteed to be right at least once, then like astrologers you can claim success.
Is there anything we can do to discourage this type of lazy and low effort posting?
Detection of "LLM" is a red herring. Quality is what matters. Always has been. Assess comment quality holistically, and you'll be fine.
We can consider this the carcinization of online discourse - everything evolves towards the optimum of LLM summarization.
Do you believe this?
But I suspect a lot of people on HN only view these threads as data and that for them "quality" only exists within the semantics and structure of the text itself, and the human element doesn't matter to them.
Smoke me a kipper i'll be back for breakfast.
LLM detection is basically witchcraft, though, for all but the most obvious cases.
Just like any other behavior you don’t like.
[1] logically upvoting is also an option.
You've reached the end!
