alt Hacker NewsThere's a rule against commenting about "tangential annoyances" like text formatting or bad UX on a linked website. It's possible a comment about GPT use might have been interpreted as that, but I would disagree - this has an effect on the quality of the content. Either way this rule is not very consistently enforced as far as I observed.
There's also the rule against generic tangents, which this subthread certainly is. The trouble with those is that they tend to get upvoted to the top of a thread (as https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45089350 was), where they choke out the rest of the discussion.
