The point is that the topic doesn’t matter, and whether you or I like the content doesn’t matter. The HN community and moderation team have come to a consensus that only original human-authored writing has a place here.

There are only 30 places on the front page, and thousands of submissions each day trying to take one of them. It’s reasonable for the audience to expect that a post that has made it to the front page has had sufficient effort invested in it to be deserving of that place.

Something else I’ve noticed (just today, in part due to this subthread): people are far less inclined to feel negatively towards an LLM-generated article or comment if they agree with it. We need to consciously resist being influenced in this way.
