I'd bet my hat that a non-trivial number of posts here on HN are, and have been, generated via GPT-3, and before ChatGPT became big. There are definite signs of astroturfing, and you can almost predict which threads are going to have it -- China, Tesla, some BTC discussions.
They don't even need to be convincing, just present and in enough volume to drag down or derail discussions; "The Firehose of Falsehood" model.
