Please just flag the comments and email us (hn@ycombinator.com ) when you see them so we can kill the accounts. Spam is not a new thing. AI-generated spam is growing but it's just a new variant of a thing that's been around forever on the web. A lot of these bots are people experimenting and seeing what they can get past the moderators and the community. Let's not give them oxygen. Flag, email if you like, and move on. Edit: A user has emailed us with a list of these accounts (with that Firstname-Lastname username format), and all of them had already been detected and killed.
