Your writing style is very much AI-like. I am not accusing you of using LLMs to write this comment, but I would like to point out that you may inadvertently be incorporating LLM-like writing.
One example is that before 2022, praising analogies was not a thing. Now every thread in HN is full of people praising each other's analogies - much like the sycophantic LLM.
I did not say it was unfit and I don't see how discussing writing styles and the influence of LLMs on it is off topic on a thread about the effects of LLMs on cognition.
I don't believe I was impolite or making a personal attack. I had a relevant point and I made it clearly and in a civil manner. I strongly disagree with your assessment.
OK, I may have been too quick to pattern-match on characterising someone's writing as being LLM-generated. Sorry for that. However we do want to be careful about criticising someone’s writing style; the guidelines ask us to avoid that.
Also, suspicions about the changing frequency of certain phrases in HN comments can easily be tested:
Really? You claim that praising an analogy would never happen in normal conversation before 2022? Seems fairly normal to potentially start with "that's a good way of putting it, but [...]" since forever...
