There's already a few 'this is a bad thing to exist on the Internet' comments, so I'll say something else.
The four example comments feel a bit off, because while they are tailored to the informational context, they don't fit into the conversational context. They all start off with an introductory sentence that restates contextual information that's already present in the discussion thread.

If you're reading the comments, you already know what question this is an answer to - wasting people's time with this high school essay nonsense is going to trip bullshit-o-meters.

This one does a lot of waffling, which people don't really do on Reddit unless they're talking about something they're passionate about. Just give the useful advice and move on.
Overall, they have a lot of the padding-the-word-count style that characterises LLMs that were trained on blogspam. Redditors tend to be both more direct and more personal in their writing styles. The LLM isn't so bad that it'll be immediately identified as AI, but it will come off as subtly ingenuine.
