Not a fan of what looks to be an AI summary in the comments.



Yep. And we only notice the obvious ones. And the quality of AI comments will only improve over time. Which raises the question (unanswered as far as I can tell) of what to do about it, and whether it even really matters...


IMO:

If the comment is a quality comment, I don't care if the poster used AI, if its a low-quality or inappropriate comment (and a summary of the existing comments counts), then downvote or, for egregious cases, flag it.


The issue (temporarily) is that many consider a long comment = high effort = probably high quality. Now we have to change our heuristics.


That's... not been a major factor in my heuristics.


Also a bit pointless when it's just summarising < 90 HN comments. One can skim that in a minute or two anyway.
