  Now the top comment on the GP comment is from a green account, and suspiciously the most upvoted. Also directly in-line with the AWS-related tool promotion… https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47018665 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47018665 @dang do you have any thoughts about how you’re performing AI moderation on HN? I’m very worried about the platform being flooded with these Submarine comments (as PG might call them).

    I agree with you that it's a bot. They're getting very clever and tricky though; a lot of them have the owners watching and step in to pretend that they're not bots and will respond to you. They did this last week and tricked dang.

      Where did they trick me? (You'll have to trust that I'm not a bot stepping in to ask that, of course.)

        They're probably referring to this exchange where the bot owner claimed to use AI for their comments because they're not a native English speaker, which let them get off with a warning, after which they continued operating the account as before: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46886719 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46886719 They then made a top-level submission revealing the "experiment": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46901199 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46901199
