It's common for spammers to use an LLM to post a short summary of a thing in the thing's comments, to attract upvotes.


Oh! I didn't even think it could be a spambot. You may be right :(


I'm not a spambot - it just felt sort of poignant for today. Ultimately, doesn't bother me that it got downvoted. Created some discussion, I got maybe mistaken for a bot - so all good ;).


Fair, but even though I don't comment often, my account is almost 15 years old. So I'd hope that at least pushes back against the spammer aspect - but ultimately, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


It's also common for spammers to hijack old accounts.
