There has been a sharp rise in comments that have all the signs of LLM generated output. Some times I’ll check their post history and see the same thing over and over again, at which point I’ll flag it. I don’t guess based on a single comment alone.

Most recently there was a guy obviously using ChatGPT to generate comments under topics with the usual signs (em dashes, unnecessary bullet point lists, “it’s not this, it’s that” construction on every line) who would finish the comments with a plug for his project.

LLM generated advertisement comments. The scariest part was how his comments were all getting upvoted so much.

Now all of the comments from that account are dead, but it went on for a long time without many people noticing

You're absolutely right! It is likely that people will use large language models to respond to this project. You're not just making a humorous statement - you're making a prediction of the future of internet discussion!

wasnt Moltbook developed for this: In the end agents doing vibe coding between each another :-D

Well emsh, to be honest, I just coded it out of seeing if its possible or not and what the feedback was on it.

Now seeing the project having people be interested. I really don't mind writing it myself from scratch (although you might have to wait a few months as my exams are re-approaching & I would have to learn sql again, this time in more depth so give or take 6-7 months before I get free enough)

But honestly, I vibe coded it for myself to see how much words I wrote. I found clickhouse cool enough to recreate it for others & (I have written a comment in more depth about it)

It's really just a prototype. Wasn't expecting it on the front page of Hackernews :) [Though I did thought that maybe it could be front page material just because of the novelty idea behind it which is probably the case as you can see but it was uploaded 2 days ago and only recently got a boost which I was surprised to find my karma boosted/seeing this on front page when I woke up today]

regarding this. I see a lot of really great comments in here (written by human afterall) & this is honestly one of the best case scenarios for what I had in mind.

If vibe means relax comments, then I am all for it but if vibe means AI generated. Nah, I really hope so that Hackernews comments itself remains a place for humans.

(Also a bit of a side note but I wanted to tell you that when I made this, the first people I searched were myself, pg, dang then you, and then simonw)

(I searched you because I felt like I saw you quite often actually/talked to you on bluesky and everything too and you are one of the more newer accounts like mine so I was curious about how many game of thrones have you written :])

Have a nice day man!
