These topic-adjacent expert responses just reek of point harvesting by an LLM, I didn't do any such downvoting, but in the last year I've changed to this viewpoint.

Wait, so if it’s accurate, interesting, new to most of us, and adjacent to the topic… that’s a bad thing?

It's generally just barely on topic, generic fluff. Anything similar could have been posted, topic adjacent, without really contributing to the discussion. Remember we are on a discussion forum, not a place to dump data.

It is if it's LLM-generated; strictly verboten on HN. This doesn't look like that to me though.

What's the point (pun intended) though? HN points don't net you anything. Except the first 500 maybe.

I often roll a fresh account for privacy and the amount of points really don't bother me.

But my point (sorry) is, why would someone even bother?

There's the leaderboard. Though the one time I noticed I'd showed up on it (others have long since overtaken me), it felt more like a warning I was spending too much time here.

> HN points don't net you anything.

Dang! I thought i was at least earning dang's respect. ^_^

Sounds like predation of HN by LLM is a bigger concern.

One wonders when posts complaining about LLMs will be posted by a LLM.

I’m just trying to imagine a LLM flame war.
