GP's comments until very recently have all been one-liners. The last few are all of a similar length and generic style. I'm inclined to agree.
@dang, as you no doubt see to a far greater extent than regular users do, generative language model usage on HN is increasing, as is meta-commentary about their use (ie this thread).
On one hand, I think GP has some cogent advice for OP. If the writing style were different, if it weren't transparently written by an LLM, it might deserve its top spot. But there's just something...wrong about accepting a conversation with a robot. There isn't anything inherently Bad about it, but it incentivizes a kind of community I don't want. Robots talking with robots. That's not a community at all.
Meta-threads like this will become tiresome, but so will robot-generated comments. What's the right community etiquette here?

1) If a discussion had started from chatGPT's comment, then it would have been interesting for the future of ChatGPT
2) If, as it was, it is discovered to be a robot then it makes me wonder if chatGPT is just yet another hype.
In your opinion, will a chatGPT identifier be included in HN's spam filters to limit the noise?
