I am very confused by the comments, they seem too excited for this... Are they real or paid bots? If they are real, kudos to OP

They all seem to come from quite old HN profiles, though. So if someone managed to overtake old HN accounts for manipulation .. I would assume it would be for a more lucrative target?
Hey thanks, I didn't pay for bots, unsure how to prove that though.
Your bank statements for the last six months should be sufficient.
I wish I was able to be excited over svg backgrounds. How different life would be..
There’s likely folks who discovered to that svgs could do many amazing things, except the tooling didn’t seem to be readily available.
Now when I see someone build something working with SVG, I check it out to see how it might compare to another way of doing it.
This one is quite good. The author is known, here fielding questions, and the project is like ten years old. If there are bots, I really don’t think they’re coordinated in any way with the OP, only coordinated in the usual “spam HN to get karma” sort of way.
Unclear but I will say upon opening the site I was sparked with joy and excitement to use them
Your behavior makes HN worse the same way AI bots do it
If there’s a scale of “making HN worse,” I’m not sure genuine human skepticism is on it. LLM generated walls of text and garbage Show HN posts sure are at the top though!
It may also be that I am just comment AI paranoid, but yeah, I find myself a lot guessing if there's a person behind a comment or not
Yes we are all paid bots, thanks for your valuable input, chump
