    I trailed off a few lines into the README. No human ever edited any of this. « LLM detected, project rejected ».

      Every third post in HN has this same complaint comment. Everybody knows.

        It's better that everyone is loud about it then everyone giving up and being silently irritated. At least if people complain it's possible to read the room

          Just flag the post so it drops off the home page and loses audience.

            Especially when the article _is plainly about the use of LLMs to do LLM things_.

            If this was talking about buying the best apples are the supermarket, sure, complain away about the use of an LLM to talk about apples.

            But it's really a specious argument about something that likely only exists because an LLM is good at creating that type of project.

            That risks not communicating the reason for the downvotes / flags to the submitter. I think the value of complaining loudly is signalling to those who think LLM write-ups are acceptable (some folks are acting in good faith without understanding why the content is unwanted).
