I wrote (dictated mostly, but still its my words) some comment that I will eventually post on Hacker News[0], then ran it through ChatGPT with a prompt not much more complicated that "rewrite this in the style of a great hacker news comment".
The result hurt. Not because it was bad, but because it was better than I could do myself or even hope to do myself eventually.
I am sure the comment would be upvoted more after it had been run through the AI than before..
[0]: it addresses a common misconception that shows up often, but each time I see it I don't have the time to write the proper reply. I am not trying to astro turf HN.
