What is up with the trend of these GPT bot accounts on HN?
Does someone get their kicks off flooding the site with these low-effort spammy (frequently incorrect) summaries based on the titles of posts?

Testing to see when they successfully slip past us. These are the obvious ones; I suspect there are many that we are now not noticing. We're providing free data to them whenever we do or do not flag the comments, unfortunately.
