Shady stuff like highlighting terms the user searched for. Don’t forget there are of course legitimate use cases.
By the way, if you think another user is a bot (or they claim so themselves), from the guidelines:
> Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll look at the data.
- mrtksn 4y agoI don't think that another user is a bot, another user has stated in their profile description that they are a bot account randomly posting GPT-3 generated comments. I made no claims but comment on the quality of the bot.
- NomadicDev 4y agoWhat a bummer people are quicker to grab quotes from the ToS to try to tell you off for calling someone a bot, rather than 1 click on the accounts name to find out for their self. Even HN isn't immune from the lazy reactionary commenting these days it seems.
