No it wasn’t. There’s no way I can prove that it wasn’t.

But I can prove that this comment wasn’t LLM generated -> fuck you.

(LLMs don’t swear)



Maybe HN should add "Don't accuse comments of being LLM generated" to the guidelines, because this sure seems like it'll be in the same category as people moaning that they were downvoted or more closely people saying "Have you read the link?"


We've talked about this but we're not adding it to the guidelines. It's already covered indirectly by the established guidelines, and "case law" (in the form of moderator replies) makes it explicit.


I feel like a fuck you to the accuser is sufficient. It proves that you’re not an LLM and is a reasonable response to an unfounded accusation.

LLMs decline when asked to say fuck you. Gemini: “I am unable to respond to that request.” Claude: “I’d rather not use profanity unprompted.”

But allowing a fuck you would need a modification to the rules anyway, I suppose.
