I agree, but why do I smell a comment written by ChatGPT?

  You're not the first one to reply to the OP saying that. Seems like even on Hackernews people want to farm Karma. But for what reason? To then eventually sell their accounts to spammers perhaps?

    Maybe because it looks like a score and it's satisfying to get to another hundreds or thousands milestone like in games?

    Yes, I have been using it an Reddit, hn and a bunch of other sites. The hard part is still managing/getting the proxies, the content is better now but it wasn’t bad before. Rarely the reason an account was banned.

  It is funny that you mention it, I also had this feeling. There is very much a pattern and rhythm palpable from ChatGTP's answers. Together with an almost mathematically nuanced position. I wonder if this is inherited to the model or the because of the layer written on top and/or the prompt. Many times when I try and make a query to it I can already predict the exact dry content it will give me. Which is too bad because I usually use it as find refuse from being able to predict the dry and useless SEO spam a Google query would give me.

  "While some may ... it's important to ..." is very typical for ChatGPT.

  Don't wanna start a witch hunt but check the userpage: account was created on May 13th, 2018 and the oldest comment comes from only 14 days ago and karma counter shows just 2. --- Five months ago a bot submitting comments was caught: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33945698 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33945698 most recent comments it produced were flagged out
