We need to start putting guardrails on hn to not allow those pointless comments complaining about usage of AI.

If you have nothing else to comment on then can you stop crying please?

I saw the recent "would a slop button be useful in addition to flags?" and my immediate response was "only if I can also flag people whining about slop.

Adds absolutely nothing to the discussion.

I've whined about it. I try not to. Maybe I'm being a nosy bystander, but here's what I see:

- User X posts some very AI-ish comment: "It's not X --- it's Y, and the reason is important...blah blah"

- User Y responds, taking the original at face value, and disagreeing or otherwise putting time into parsing the ideas in User X's post.

- Me, thinking: User Y is being duped, wasting their time, arguing with a ghost, and otherwise being taken for a ride

That's not my problem, it's User Y's, and they may have knowingly decided to respond even though User X is posting AI slop.

But a forum where that happens a lot doesn't seem like a good place.

If slop adds nothing then discussing what is and isn’t slop and how to get rid of it does add something.
