>unless google searches are also illegal for hacker news commenting

Posting verbatim from google searches would not be allowed either. This forum is for conversations between human beings, not machine generated content. I don't know why you bothered to ask, though, since it seems you don't actually care.

>From my own human perspective, the best I could offer without research is "that looks like a really ridiculous claim". I think a researched claim is a lot more valuable here.

You're not required to participate in a thread. If the best you have to offer is a low value comment you can consider not making it versus intentionally breaking the rules because you feel compelled to add something. It's OK. This isn't supposed to be work. You don't have a quota to meet. If you feel no one is adding to a topic you're under no obligation to try to maximize its quality by any means necessary, including means no one here actually wants. It's OK just just move on.

This story is one I posted, and nobody replied to it. Not to mention I did no such thing as "post verbatim from a Google search" as though I wrote it, I would never do that and feel free to look through my nearly two decade posting history to find that, it's a quote which I attributed.

If you don't like my posts, the downmod button is right there. I can otherwise do without the moralizing lecture which is definitely something nobody wants here. Did you just search for "AI" posts that needed policing to even find this totally dead thread ? Talk about HN being a "job"
