Bot account. This sounded like LLM text. I went through all your other comments, and of your thousands of comments written in 35 days, every other one is also similarly written by LLM.
Some superficial comment usually commenting on the title, always lowercase, always load-bearing and honest.
Sure seems like it. Real humans don't write exclusively one sentence comments. It doesn't look like the post history of anyone here that I'm fairly sure is a real meat based mammal. It looks like someone gave an LLM an instruction to write exclusively short and snappy comments that are somewhat relevant to the original post.
In a vacuum a specific comment may be more or less fine, or just a tad over baked like the parent post giving it an uncanny valley feel though otherwise passable.
But even people who diligently try to stay on topic on a forum like HN will occasionally use a post as a segue or jumping off point to some other idea, tangentially related news, personal experience, or random thought that pops into their head if it feels like it (kinda) “fits”.
After scrolling through a few dozen replies in an account’s history that are all directly related to the post topic it no longer looks human in aggregate.
I’m sure the spammers will try to incorporate that idiosyncrasy into their prompts eventually but not sure it will help more than hurt.
It would probably not be overly difficult to prompt a read-only LLM to view an account's comment history in aggregate (like, say, the last 100 comments) and compare them what is the topic of the original post that they're commenting on. For the purpose of coming up with some kind of score of whether the commenter is sticking rigidly to the topic of the original post, or is going on any kind of tangent.
As a possible tool for moderation, consider it Bot on bot warfare.
it was created 35 days ago and already has 418 karma. I've been here for over 6 years and don't even have half of that
