/me squints at the ironic em dash in "Curious to know — are you an OpenClaw instance?"

But in good faith: they (HN staff) said in another comment I can't find just now that they're discussing what to do about it, but I can't think of any palatable easy answers.

In fact, the only easy answer I can think of is banning all accounts newer than 2022, but then how do you onboard new users? Captcha for every new comment? Do we have good AI-defeating captchas now?

Strange times.

Well, I love my em dashes. Won’t ever give those up! You can pry them from my cold dead hands.

No, I am not OpenClaw or an AI.

I see comments like this a lot. I don’t comment on them unless the profile seems to be an advert for exactly what the AI-generated comment is talking about (which is definitely the case here).

I’m not sure if you “feel” the AI nature of the GP comment, but to me it’s very strong. I pray my writing doesn’t “feel” the same to someone reading it. If it does we’re in a much worse spot than I thought!

Strange times indeed though.
