I agree with this. I don't know about a permanent ban, but at least a penalty. A couple weeks ago we made a big deal about, "No AI generated comments," being added to the guidelines.

Yet, we've still seen AI generated submissions on the front page. It would be nice if the rules were consistent.

Any sign of AI, TBH. I don't come to HN to ask Claude, I already pay Anthropic for that.

I'd love an AI to filter out comments like this for me. You don't like AI or AI writing, we get it. A downvote would have been enough.

A browser extension with a couple regexps will do it. Or with a tiny model for sentiment analysis, if you want to be fancy. Feel free to ask your AI agent to make it.
