This is pretty damning. It would be interesting to see if new accounts collect karma at any rate whatsoever.

Karma aside, flooding the comments with a chosen narrative via army of bots seems like it's already happening. I suppose the bots can also do voting rings, but they don't necessarily need to.

      Yeah, right? Not one ever actually turned out to be true!

      That conspiracy about billionaires, who supposedly own all of western media, having deliberately created an environment in which anyone who expresses even the remote idea of a conspiracy, gets discreditted, is also not true!

      None of them are true!

      Not. A. Single. One.

Would be interesting to see "fastest growing accounts in last N months" or something similar. I'm guessing the ones that are actually humans would be closer to the top than the bottom, but maybe HN users aren't better than the average person to detect AI or not.
