I'm 99% sure your comment was written by AI. Do I have any proof? No. Does it matter if the content is relevant? No. Should I have just voted instead of accusing someone? Yes.

    I think noting the prevalence of AI generated content masquerading as human is also relevant and important to point out.

    If I want relevant content written by AI, then I will talk to an AI, not go to a forum. AI generated comments should be tagged as such.

    For what it's worth, the user edited their comment after I posted so that it no longer appears to be written by AI. The original had all the signs of coming straight out of a ChatGPT prompt (but no longer does). You may have missed the comment before the edit, but it was very obvious.

    • I've seen it post edit it seems. It would be nice if HN marked that... But yeah, if it's good quality and I can't tell the difference from a human writing it, I'm cool with it - because at that point it's just random accusations that are going to be wrong a lot of the time.

Based on what? I think you're seeing things that aren't there.

    • I hate that feeling of other people reacting to a different thing than I saw but that I don't have screenshots to show what I saw.
