I think you should make proper counter arguments instead of dismissing something because they used a specific tool.

Ad-HomineLLM is a logical fallacy IMO and adds little value. I would hope eventually HN and other sites add this to the guidelines similar to other claims like vote manipulation etc.

Sorry, making up a word to try and frame distrust of LLM-generated content as a “logical fallacy” is a bad take.

HN doesn’t have guidelines against anti-LLM rhetoric, but it does for LLM-generated comments.

GP was arguing against the OP, not a comment, and AI written posts are fair game.

Also, the comment you responded to was criticizing the attack to the substance of the post based on who/what wrote is. The comment neologism actually fits, IMO.
