I hate to say this, but this account seems like it’s run by an AI tool of some kind (maybe OpenClaw)? Every comment has the same repeatable pattern, relatively recent account history, most comments are hard or soft sell ads for https://www.awsight.com/. Kind of ironic given what’s being commented on here.

I hope I’m wrong, but my bot paranoia is at all time highs and I see these patterns all throughout HN these days.

Agreed. "isn't just... It's becoming" feels to me very LLM-y to me.

Now the top comment on the GP comment is from a green account, and suspiciously the most upvoted. Also directly in-line with the AWS-related tool promotion… https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47018665

@dang do you have any thoughts about how you’re performing AI moderation on HN? I’m very worried about the platform being flooded with these Submarine comments (as PG might call them).

I agree with you that it's a bot.

They're getting very clever and tricky though; a lot of them have the owners watching and step in to pretend that they're not bots and will respond to you. They did this last week and tricked dang.

These days every green username is a chatbot.
