Funny that the replies are dead. It's true that generally we shouldn't have AI output on HN but this case is an exception as we are explicitly asking for it, so it's interesting that people still flag the replies.

And this is really not OK. I've been a victim of the same filter.

Dang/Tomhow, are you reading this? Would it make sense to modify your slop filter to avoid auto-flagging/killing replies that credit the LLM explicitly? Otherwise valid discussions will continue to get hosed.

Are you saying comments are getting shadow banned?
From what I can tell, anything that triggers some sort of AI post filter gets automatically flagged. Several posts in this thread are visible only with showdead enabled.

My argument is that this rule should apply only to people who post LLM output under their own user names without acknowledgment, or otherwise post it where it doesn't belong. If the topic of a (sub)thread involves LLM output, it should be OK to cite examples without getting your post flagged.

I agree. It sucks to have my good faith comment be shadow filtered, without any notice or indication.
