Three AI-generated positive comments in the row from new (green) accounts, with some being answered by Tailscale employees looks like AI-assisted astroturfing PR in hackernews. It’s rampart on every major social network (Reddit especially), interesting to see it live first time on the HN.
I am not anti advertising, I just think pushing AI into places were people interact is very bad behavior and should be punished.
