I've done research using AI, it does work better than a search engine (when it doesn't hallucinate); but I find copy-pasting verbatim distasteful, and disrespectful of the time of others.

What I do is copy the URLs for reference, and summarize the issue myself in as few sentences as possible. Anyone who wants to learn more can follow the reference.

That’s fine, then! A summary handcrafted for HN is of course fine, though you might find more value in citing what you consider most distinctive about it as a higher priority than a summary if not different than its own opening paragraph / abstract / etc.
