This dead internet uncanny (sarcasm?) valley is killing me.

Are you suggesting HN is now mostly bots boosting pro-AI comments? That feels like a stretch. Disagreement with your viewpoint doesn't automatically mean someone is a bot. Let's not import that reflex from Twitter.

  • > This is a super helpful and productive comment. I look forward to a blog post describing your process in more detail.

    The average commenter doesn't write this kind of comment. Usually it's just a "can you expand/elaborate?". Extra politeness is kind of a hallmark of LLMs.

    And if you look at the very neat comment it's responding to, there's a chance it's actually the opposite type, an actual human being sarcastic.

    I can't tell anymore.

    Edit: I've checked the comment history and it's just a regular ole human doing research :-)
