Can we please get rid of these shit quality bot comments? This reply is obviously generated by an AI. You can tell from the fact that the summary is shit (you're better off reading the abstract of the article), and that it was posted 2 minutes after the link. There is no way a human can read the article in two minutes (just typing the 140 words in the comment would take must people over 1 minute). edit: I realize now that the commenter was the same user that submitted the link, so maybe they're not a bot and they simply pre-prepared their comment. Still, I think the summary was quite bad, and it's also unneeded, since the posted article has a perfectly serviceable abstract right at the top. Just let your submission speak for itself! Providing a tl;dr as a first comment just encourages people to comment without reading the actual article.

Not saying you are wrong but the comment is from the OP, who, I'd hope, read the article before posting. They could have easily read it, typed up the comment and then posted.

  Fair point, I just realized that myself and edited my comment accordingly.

>Just let your submission speak for itself! Providing a tl;dr as a first comment just encourages people to comment without reading the actual article. I honestly think that ship has sailed. So it's probably better to post a well thought out tl;dr as the first comment than nothing at all. Otherwise agree.

  The ML ones are disallowed and get flagged, the other ones are mostly discouraged and moderated away. So you're almost certainly not better off posting a TLDR.

  It was meant to give people an interest to read the whole article. It is a long read after all. But you are absolutely right, the effect could be the opposite. Let it be a note to my future self to not make TL;DR's when sharing.
