He's stating a fact. Turn on showed in your options and scroll to the bottom of the comments on any popular story. There are so many agentic users here.

Having to turn on showdead (which I have turned on by default) demonstrates that’s it’s not much of a problem in practice.

I generally disagree, because the level of discourse here has always been very high, curious and intellectual.

  • It has, and the well prompted agents still give that. It's very weird.

    • I just don’t even understand the appeal of having a bot interact on forums for you unless you’re astroturfing for your company or personal brand or whatever

  • Maybe 1:100 comments match any one of those attributes.

    Most comments are just grammatically "correct". Not a high bar.

    • The comments that aren't grammatically correct get pedantically corrected by those HNers too, so that's nice.
