There’s no better way to get a lot of testers than to have a Show HN.

I’ll confirm - there are cursor bugs on iOS. Both on newlines and autocorrect.

I’m personally more forgiving of an LLM “helped” site, if it looks like there was a human in the loop for the process. An LLM has more context about the design goals and architecture than the reader, so if it’s an informative page, I’m not personally bothered.

But I’m probably in the minority.

A human is needed to show how app’s technical features are relevant to a particular audience with a shared social context. As the LLM is not (and should not ever be) a participant in that social environment, any marketing it generates will almost certainly land as tone deaf or presumptuous.

That’s the “human in the loop” part. Use the LLM to generate a copy and the human to refine it.

If you think successful campaigns these days are always entirely done by humans, then I’m afraid you’re mistaken.
