HN front page is about 25% LLM written blog posts at any given time.

HN kills lots of posts. I try to be careful about my online footprint (since HN posts are forever), and try to switch to new accounts every so often. It's no use anymore, HN just kills any post I make from a new account, even when I spend 20 minutes researching a response and trying to get useful information.

It doesn't even show you the post is killed, it looks to you like it posted fine, and you have to logout to see it's actually dead. It's an approach that's extremely hostile to the user.

I have read enough “you are replying to an LLM” comments that I am pretty sure this is still a hit or miss process.

It needs help. I often pipe my screed though an LLM and post it. I do request that it use a 10th grade reading level, and no emdashes.

For giggles, here's how it would look for this comment. Rather meta, but in this case it removed the "It needs hellp" so here we are.

I often run my screed through an LLM before posting. I ask it to keep the writing at about a 10th grade reading level and to avoid em dashes.

>HN autokills comments it detects as LLM

No it doesn't. Unless you have proof.... ???

The question is how reliable that detection is.
