The comment you're replying to is 100% AI-generated. How does obviously LLM-generated content continually make it to the front of HN, and why in God's name are you being downvoted for calling this out??

"...a fascinating approach..." (LLMs think everything is fascinating)

"...they're essentially having a generalist learn from a committee of specialists..." (analogies, analogies)

"...where APIs are undocumented, partial failures are common, and user input is full of ambiguity..." (typical AI rule of three template with semantically similar parameters that contribute nothing to the overall meaning)

It does worry me how defensive people can become over really obvious slop - I don't think I'm even particularly attuned to the style of LLM writing but it is incredibly obvious every time I see it. It's only going to get worse I think.

Tinfoil hat time, but perhaps the bots don't like being called out? I don't actually take that statement seriously, but it seems an eventual avenue. They've long been seeding threads on Reddit to shape initial hive mind, i imagine that's going to get more advanced and widespread.
