Hmmmm it is hard to really place the issue. I am very much in the bullish on AI camp but I don't like writing for the sake of writing and some of the models (4o in this case) have very obvious tells and write in such a way that it takes away from what substance may exist.

One thing that concerns me is when you can't tell whether the comment was authored or just edited by AI. I'm uncomfortable with the idea that HN threads and reddit comments gradually tend towards the grey generic writing style of LLMs, but I don't really mind (save for the prospect of people not learning things they might otherwise!) when comments are edited (i.e. minor changes) for the sake of cleanliness or fixing issues.
