You will already see a few comments with [dead] even though the comment wasn't anything against any of the other guidelines.

Just because people get murdered doesn't mean that laws against murder are useless. Although I don't have any evidence of that.
Well the laws against murders also often have punishments/repercussions associated with them. HN guidelines? Not so much

#15I believe the issue of proving who is and who isn't really human on the Internet will be a really important issue in the coming years, especially without sacrificing people's right to privacy and anonymity in the process.

> Relying on the humans here to self censor has never worked in the history of man. They're guidelines. HN is based almost entirely on self-censorship, and moderation has always been light at best, partly due to the moderator-to-comment ratio. Of course the HN guidelines often fail to be observed, which is nothing new.
I agree with you. I have a rule in the house about the kids only eating one sweet a day. But guess what?

#18There are ways to test for AI but sadly it would probably result in violation of other hn guidelines.

#19I think using AI for a bit more potent spellchecking or style hints is... fine, honestly. I don't usually do it, you can tell from all the silly spelling mistakes I do. But a bit more polishing for your posts is a good thing, not a bad one, as long as it doesn't hide your voice.

#20I think it's hilarious that whenever someone complains about it they're a luddite, and now this happens on a website that is filled with LLM enthusiasts who have done nothing but overpromise.
