How many non-native English speakers are on HN? If it's more than 30%, why should they have to use a whole new language if they can just let an LLM do it in a natural sounding way.

I’d rather read broken english than LLM output.

You can't even tell, bro. This comment was generated by AI. Can you tell? Hardly. You're like a bouncer telling people they can't wear warm underwear. How on earth will you possible know, care, or tell?
