Please don't vaguepost as it wasted my time trying to trade down which comment you thought was LLM generated and why.
OP is likely referring to this one (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47335032 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47335032) by LuxBennu because it has an em-dash, that's one of the few cases it's used correctly. But the account's comment history comments that do not follow the typical LLM tropes but are still odd for a human to write: https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=LuxBennu https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=LuxBennu
LuxBennu did reply to accusations of being an AI bot: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47340704 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47340704
> Fair enough — I've been lurking since 2019 and picked a bad day to start commenting on everything at once. Not a bot, just overeager. I'll pace myself.
- cubefox 8mo agoMultiple people agree with me here. The account used em dashes almost everywhere and was rapidly posting complex comments (while having clearly read the articles) one or two minutes apart. There are also other subtle LLM-isms, like replying to a user with "<username> nails it". That's a typical Moltbook pattern. A human would at most write "You nailed it", anything else is just strange.
