I do not think the new rules or for this use case or at least not target at them.

None of the examples I looked at from Dang's post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47342616 look like gramarly edits that are hard to notice.

I think it is, at least mostly, about the blatant cases that are often already down voted and flag and make it official.

I often see the rules in: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html broken, mostly small ways, I still think we are better off with them or something similar rather than having nothing.

Which raises the question of why an official guideline is necessary in the first place. Obvious LLM slop being downvoted into oblivion is itself a good enough measure, without needing to create extra rules by which to hang the innocent.
