Ask HN: add a flag for AI-generated articles
- Category: Pulse
- Status: discussion
- Sources: HN thread
- Summary: The day's top thread (776 points) asks whether Hacker News should let users mark or flag AI-generated articles. Commenters question whether the existing voting and flagging already cover it, note that AI-detection tools are unreliable and any label would be contested, and link a parallel Lobsters discussion.
- Why it matters: It captures a widening moderation problem as AI-written submissions grow, with no reliable automated signal to separate them.
