Rude accusation. GPT talks like the average internet commenter, it shouldn't be surprising to find a genuine comment written in a voice similar to GPT.
Eg, compare "I am deeply indebted to this book" with "I'm very debted to this man. I enjoyed a lot reading his books and made me who I am today." at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28481028 from Sept 10, 2021.
Or compare "I owe my entire career to this remarkable individual who, despite never having met or being affiliated with," with "I'm not affiliated with the author though. This book helped a lot in my career as a hardware and firmware engineer." at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23386732 from June 2, 2020.

Further investigation doesn't support your claim. The citations check out, including publication year and publishers.
And the author has indeed praised the book many times before (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31843833, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31843833, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31311613, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28481028, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23386732, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22305353, and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23386732, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21988211, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21513056, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18996703, and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10184364 ) with the last comment from 2015.
Eg, compare "I am deeply indebted to this book" with "I'm very debted to this man. I enjoyed a lot reading his books and made me who I am today." at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28481028 from Sept 10, 2021.

Or compare "enabling me to implement powerful features akin to those found in the widely used tool, grep." with similar comments over the last 8+ years, at https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... , like "and eventually write your own 'grep' which was for me is a mind-blowing experience" at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13664714 from Feb 16, 2017.
And https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... shows the OP citing http://cs.newpaltz.edu/~dosreist/ while this comment uses the archive.org version because the old URL doesn't work.
