Hacker News discussion asks whether readers prefer stories written by AI
A Hacker News thread poses the question of whether audiences actually prefer fiction or news written by AI over human-written text. The discussion follows a recurring line of research in which readers are shown both AI- and human-authored pieces and asked to rate or identify them, often without being able to tell the difference reliably. Commenters debate what such preference results mean for writers, publishers, and how AI use should be disclosed.
