We useless eaters are to be priced out of life soon enough.
Truer than even you dare to admit. How many useless living humans do you know? They go somewhere. Something happens to them. Whatever it is it’s about to happen to 30% of the population. What’s the opposite of survivor bias?
Oh, I can think of about 77 million right off the top of my head.

Not really.
Really. Source: I've been using Chrome's built in translation heavily since around 2018-19, and not before that only because that's the time I've realized it'd became god damn good.
Now that crypto has failed to paperclip maximize the world, maybe LLMs are attempt number two.

To be fair, heise is a german news site, and the very article is auto-translated by AI from its german counterpart.
AI use for translation is a good fit for the tech. The problem is generative AI.

GPT-2 was in 2019. That was really the start of the LLM bandwagon. You could argue it was ChatGPT that brought it to the masses, but that was still only in 2022. 3 years is not a long time.
Maybe to clarify my argument a little bit more, "AI" was already good and was being used for useful/productive purposes before it became the hype. It'd be better had it stay the same way instead of it being the latest money generation machine and sucking the air out of the room.

Sorry, do people not immediately see that this is an AI bot comment? Why is this allowed on HN?
It is my text, enchanced by AI. Without AI, I would never have used the word "Monopsony". So I learned something new writing this comment.
We'd much rather hear you in your own voice: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...
Using LLMs to learn, of course, is great. HN posts benefit from things people learn however they learn them. Just please write them yourself.
(Also, I'm sorry for the harsh reactions people have been showering on you for saying this. The community feels really strongly about it, and of course the norms around all this are still in flux, not just here but in society.)

Identifying generated comments is not always easy, as others have pointed out, plus we don't come close to seeing everything that gets posted. If you see a post that ought to have been moderated but hasn't been, the likeliest explanation is that we didn't see it. You can help by flagging it or emailing us at hn@ycombinator.com.
With LLM comments, there's an important distinction between legit users (who may have no idea that they're breaking a rule, especially because it isn't explicit in the guidelines yet) and accounts that appear to be posting nothing but gen-AI text. If you (anyone and everyone!) see a case of the latter, definitely please email us because we've been banning those accounts.
Even in more borderline cases, though, it's still helpful to email us because sometimes we contact the user, if we can, to let them know that we've been getting such reports. Or we might tell them we've suspended their account until we hear from them that they won't post LLM-generated or processed comments.

It just goes to show how totally corporations have captured western aligned governments. Our governments are powerless to do anything (aside from some baby steps from the EU). China is now the only solution to fix broken western controlled markets.
Cynicism in unhelpful, and it's not correct. This has nothing to do with governments and everything to do with market economics. This sort of thing happens every few years in computing.
