The problem is that there’s infinite “content” out there.

The amount of work the author puts in is correlated with the value of the piece (insight/novelty/etc). AI-written text is a signal that there’s less less effort and therefore less value there.

It’s not a perfect correlation and there are lots of exceptions like foreign language speakers, but it is a signal.



Those who are convinced that every other poster is secretly AI can just not engage with those comments then.

As it is, it just adds noise. Much more so than AI-written comments themselves, at least here on HN.
