Definitely weird. No new comments from @praveenhm to HN in almost two years and then the first one made is some ChatGPT-generated one.

There's actually a pattern of these accounts that look like they were once real people, who stopped commenting, and multiple years later were necromanced as a spam-zombie. You'll notice it clearly if you start looking at the histories of spammers after you [flag] them.
I've complained several times to the mods about it, so I'm sure they're aware too.
Is it too big a leap for me to assume someone is going around using password spraying or whatever to compromise neglected accounts for use as spam bots?
