Right on, I've been quite bored from 8-4 hours lately and have been commenting a lot around forums etc and can relate. Writing articles like this is more productive. I agree about the AI comments, it's basically written in the HN Guidelines "Please don't complain about tangential annoyances" or multiple others like "Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something."

Very relatable. I've definitely found myself spending more time in discussions recently too. I kind of take the AI comment as a compliment to be honest. Its a shame the message can get dismissed so quickly because of it but I understand why people are suspicious now

Well, brand new account, first blog entry, and at least a not but, had I not said that someone else would have ;)

I wasn't sure, but I've been burned by commenting slop before, so I stressed that I knew I might be debating with an AI ;)
