Using chatGPT to make a comment isn't necessarily a bad thing. I'd say the curiosity about how the comment was written is a good thing, as long as it's not a criticism.
- mardifoufs 4y agoSure, but it's still pretty rude because it's usually baseless. And as you said, it doesn't even really matter. If the comment is bad, just downvote it. If it's good enough, why even bring it up?
- InCityDreams 4y ago"Don't ask rude questions", usually said by those with something to hide. Obviously there's a current novelty factor with cgpt answers, and i for one am happy people 'challenge' them. If the comment isn't what you like, ignore it?
- imwillofficial 4y agoThis is starting witch hunts for ai generated comments, attempting to discredit the comment by its format, not its content. This violates the goodwill we all share in conversation on HN.
- wkat4242 4y agoWhy would someone even bother using a chatbot to write a comment? Just writing it would be a lot quicker. There isn't really anything to gain here with that either.
- gouggoug 4y ago“Someone” wouldn’t. A bot would. Which was implied (albeit maybe not obvious) in my question.
- wkat4242 4y agoBut a current-gen bot doesn't go look around for forums to leave comments on by itself. There must be a human that set that up through the API. My question is why, what's the point? If it even happens, in this case it was not so.
