With a proper AI system you don’t even need to specify the exact article and nature of the comment.

For example here’s the prompt I use to generate all my HN comments:

“The purpose of this task is to subtly promote my professional brand and gain karma points on Hacker News. Based on what you know about my personal history and my obsessions and limitations, write comments on all HN front page articles where you believe upvotes can be maximized. Make sure to insert enough factual errors and awkward personal details to maintain plausibility. Report back when you’ve reached 50k karma.”

Working fine on GPT-5 so far. My… I mean, its 8M context window surely helps to keep the comments consistent.
