> An AI cannot, by definition, create better HN content. Because HN content is about hearing what people think about a certain topic/thread.

Not necessarily. Good HN content can also be factual information relevant to the topic at hand. And yes, current AI like ChatGPT might not help with that, but an hypothetical future AI which cared more about the veracity of its statements could.

I reject this notion. for me, thats not good HN content. for me, thats not why I got to HN. Maybe to others, but not me.

That said, factually incorrect content is bad, but being factually relevant is not enough. I don’t want a robot glossary filling up comments. Have you met know-it-alls that just spew factually relèvent regurgitation instead of thoughtful response?
