HN only supports English so it should be allowed for anyone using LLMs for translation.
You could use translation tools instead of llms.
Don't post generated/AI-edited comments. HN is for conversation between humans

Re: Don't post generated/AI-edited comments. HN is for conversation between humans
#112"AI-edited comments" is a very interesting one. Where is the line between a spelling/grammar/tone checker like Grammarly, that at minimum use N-Grams behind the scenes, and something that is "AI" edited? What I am asking is, is "AI" in this context fully featured LLMs, or anything that improves communication via an automated system. I think many people have used these "advanced" spellcheckers for years before Chatgpt…
Your comment is one of semantics. Worth discussing if we're talking a truly hard line rule rather than the spirit of the rule.
I benefit from my phone flagging spelling errors/typos for me. Maybe it uses AI or maybe it uses a simple dictionary for me. Maybe it might even catch a string of words when the conjunction isn't correct. That's all fair game, IMO. But it shouldn't be rewriting the sentence for me. And it shouldn't be automatically cleaning up my typos for me after I've hit "reply". That's on me.

Why not be real and multi faceted in both thinking and writing? Trying to be perfect in writing just makes you plastic.
By the looks of it, I don't even think I'm replying to a human.

#114What if English is my second language? Undoubtedly being well spoken is associated with higher class. Your arguments will come of as stronger to the reader.

#115No way to verify. Relying on the humans here to self censor has never worked in the history of man. But the idea in itself is good. HN is for human to human conversation.
Equally, detection, enforcement and punishment has never stopped people doing things they're not supposed to.

#116From henceforth any comment containing the word "absolutely" or "--" shall be automatically deleted.

#117I 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.
you could sell physical items at any store where you have to show your ID and you get one for the age group you are. that kills two birds with one stone, you can then show everywhere online you are human and how old you are without the services needing any personal information about you, and the sellers don't know what you use that id tag for.

#119Not sure I agree with the AI edited comments. Using AI to improve the readability and clarity is fine. Sometimes a well structured comment is much better than a braindump that reads like ramblings. And AI is quite good at it (and probably will get better). To make the point, here is how this comment would have looked if edited:

#120"HN is for conversation between humans."
Are there any places in life where conversation is _not_ intended to be between humans?
