@dang this accounts comments smell like LLM slop. They are mostly on topic and its more claude than chatgpt but it's slop nontheless.

is telling

didn't win... It won ...

Look at their other comments they are also fishy

I know you guys don't want us to call it out because of negativity. But there needs to be awareness in the community, this is the top comment somehow right now. It feels like it happens every other thread. Please do something more rigorous than manually deleting accounts.

Thanks - yes, this is an area that's in rapid flux right now.

All: if you see an account mostly posting what look like generated comments, it's super helpful to email [e-mail] with the username. We're relying heavily on user reports right now, while we're working on building better software defences. Hopefully soon, for example, we'll extend the flagging system to allow this type of report.

Edit: oops I didn't notice that tomhow had already replied!

Note I might be wrong on this one but it's just extremely annoying that I even have to consider if I am being manipulated by an AI while reading HN comments.

If I want to read AI stuff I go to Clawdbook or OpenAIs Sora app.

Sure, and we've banned the account, but please email us with these [e-mail]. @mentions don't work on HN; I only saw it because I was looking through the thread. We're also asking people not to make these accusations publicly, partly because they take longer for us to see than an email, and also because a false accusation is more harmful than a valid accusation is beneficial.
