These are real people dude. I know some of them. Some are users or friends who came to comment on our post. They aren't bots and neither am I. Just new to HN.

@tomhow emailing to verify that I am real, the comments on my post are not bots and I can verify whatever you need me to. Annoying to be flagged when I am just new here and trying to be part of the community.
Never said you're a bot or that they're not real people. They're mostly people you know or your sockpuppets. Most people who do this are real people.

All "real people", all posting multiple LLM generated comments.
I wanted to come back here and say that I realize I am actually the asshole in this situation. I didn't read the rules (I struggle with rules), before posting on HN. I get why you flagged me on this, and understand why the rules are in place to keep HN 100% genuine.
“Sock puppets” are my own friends coming to try to support my post. Idk if they are using LLMs, I can’t really control that.
I’m not here to spam HN with AI slop. Is that the point you’re concerned about here?
Totally get it, community falls to shit if it becomes a bunch of slop. I like HN because people think and make genuine intelligent comments.
Not here to ruin the community just genuinely new and recruited friends to support my launch post.
