There is plenty of unfounded AI-hype astroturfing going on in HN that each instance absolutely deserves to be called out. This guideline is somewhat antiquated for the LLM era. Reporting posts and accounts spitting out blatant LLM-slop does nothing, by the way.
There is no insinuation. The astroturfing objectively occurs and that it does so is an inherent strain on the credibility of engagement like that of the GP.
