I appreciate the warning and if it's not by claude I apologize, but I do think we should be allowed to express scepticism if things posted are just AI slop (and if we have to fear getting banned or what-have-you as a consequence I genuinely think that's worse for HN long term than the alternative).

If the skepticism is based on nothing but vibes such commentary is functionally equivalent to something the site guidelines ask you to avoid as it is.

Don't worry, we wouldn't ban anyone for this. I agree with you that it's a grey area and will take time to work out.

I dunno why you'd say this, neither of us are fans of LLMs and most of this was written before LLMs were a thing :)

Maybe Claude was trained on your code. You should take it as a compliment.

asked claude, said it didn’t do it :)
