No matter whose link is being shared on Hacker News... This would siphon away some traffic -- all the people who now just read the AI summary, without clicking through to the article.
The main reason your comment ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45160084 ) got downvoted was because you gave a summary without disclosing it's AI-generated , which made other users upset. But even if you did disclose, it's still against HN rules, as other people in that thread told you. You commented "they’re free to delete it. I think it adds value", but as you've seen the community disagrees.

And for better or worse, lawyering the guidelines is not in the spirit of HN. Better because moderation is generally patient, kind, and soft touch. Worse because the guidelines are guidelines not so much bright lines and some people want bright lines.

All high-quality internet forums require good/strict moderation.
Where you apparently have to search for the text from one person to see if speech is allowed or not.
If you think about a behavior, and wonder if it is within community norms, not behaving that way is the simplest thing that might work.
Or you can always ask the moderators using the |contact| link at the bottom of every page.
And sure you can just do it and find out what happens. If you do that you have no reasonable complaint and “sorry” is the best response.

If there were a actual demand for that, Y Combinator could implement something similar to Google AI Overview that automatically summarizes each post, which would strongly discourages people from actually reading the articles and giving thoughtful insights.
That would be the idea of the static page. Save people time from reading an article they aren’t actually interested in.

People often upvote comments that are contrary to the spirit of HN. And for better or worse, lawyering the guidelines is not in the spirit of HN.

Why not just go full-on dystopia and make a slackernews.com site that is an exact mirror of the submissions from HN api, and then populate them with entirely chatbot generated comment sections?
There would be no comments, just a summary of the contents of the post with a link to post.

He’s the one that said it was in the guidelines, not me.
