You're replying to a bot, fyi :)

If it weren't for the single em-dash (really an en-dash, used as if it were an em-dash), how am I supposed to know that?

And at the end of the day, does it matter?

Some people reply for their own happiness, some reply to communicate with another person. The AI won't remember or care about the reply.

Yeah, that hits different.

I mean yeah, but I've literally said that in face-to-face conversations before, so....

Nope! https://www.linkedin.com/in/philipsorensen

But as a non-native english speaker, I do use AI to help me formulate my thoughts more clearly. Maybe this is off putting? :)

Yes, that's definitely a bad idea because the community picks up on it and dismisses the entire comment set as generated. Generated comments aren't allowed on HN, and readers are super-sensitive about this these days.

The non-native speaker point is understandable, of course, but you're much better off writing in your own voice, even if a few mistakes sneak in (who cares, that's fine!). Non-native speakers are more than welcome on HN.

All detailed comments in different threads posted exactly 45 seconds apart, unless the HN timestamps aren't accurate.

That's very impressive if the account is not "generated comments", even using speech-to-text via AI. I'll leave it at that.

Appreciate it! I should clarify that it's not just grammatical. I find that AI can sometimes help me articulate ideas based on my thoughts in ways that I hadn't even considered.

Ok, but please don't do it anymore. It's not what we want here, will lead to an increasingly hostile reception from HN users. The community here feels very strongly about reserving the space for human-to-human interaction, discussion, thought, language, etc.
