If you didn't catch it, this is a joke calling out the comment above it for using a couple obvious LLM-isms. The comment above may have been a joke, too. It's hard to tell any more.

Wait, I think I have the answer!

"You're in a desert, walking along in the sand when all of a sudden you look down and see a tortoise. It's crawling toward you. You reach down and flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over. But it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. Why is that?"

Of course they'll learn. LLM bots have been spotted on HN using that hipster all lower case style of writing.

i can write like this if i want. or if i were a clever ai bot.

I found the key insight -- when a human tries to sound like an LLM, that's perceived by other humans as humor.

Not sarcasm. Not cynism. Just pure humor.
