Is this a joke? Top 3 comments follow almost an identical format?

  It's a feature not a bug. Copilot also assists with HN comments!

    Amazing, this is exactly what I was going to type!

      I suppose you were both trained on the same data set.

  Right? Im getting heavy astroturf vibes from these repetitive, nearly perfectly phrased, corporate sounding paragraphs of pure praise.

    This is the HN copilot, which writes comments for you. Basically, if you look at what’s not yet available to the public, we have engines that can write an entire program that does what you want, a test suite, documentation, and write thoughtful comments on all the forums about why the program is good. They could make about 100,000 programs an hour on a cluster, together wih effusive praise for each, but that would make everyone supicious.

    Ferross is a well known figure and a monster talent. I seriously doubt he has sold out as a Github shill.

  > it does a mucho mejor trabajo de sugerir the right code, sometimes it is even writing the entire function para ti. Whether it's a joke or astroturfing, this alone makes it brilliant.

  It's a direct reply to the other comment you mention and it parses like it's autogenerated but then swerves off into another language. I'm pretty sure it's a joke.

  Yes it was a joke. I wrote it myself. Seems many people didn't get it. Oh well...
