I haven't noticed more outright spam, but I've noticed many "borderline clickbait" articles that are get suspiciously highly upvoted. They tend to be flagged after a while, but only after spending quite a long time on the front page.
I think people have finally figured out how to cheaply raise bot accounts to promote their clickbait articles on HN. LLMs that make it easy to raise fake accounts with good karma might have to do with that.
