This will almost certainly be used by people to sanity check their HN submissions before actually submitting, very similar to having AI review your branch before submitting a PR.

bahah
Or like Nathan Fielder's The Rehearsal show on HBO Max. Also, the show's subreddit has a companion subreddit for posting to before you post to the real one.
A friend of mine was speculating about the same thing. I'm totally happy with it just existing as a toy, but if it serves some useful purpose, even better!
I love that this very point is in fact one that it generated against itself!

Really spooky, all comments are LLM based and something certainly feels off, but can't quite put my finger on what it is.
I think it has to do with comments that doesnt really comment on the previous comment.
Certainly one of the more interesting uses of LLMs in a while.
