alt Hacker NewsIt’s pretty sad.
The only way we know these comments are from AI bots for now is due to the obvious hallucinations.
What happens when the AI improves even more…will HN be filled with bots talking to other bots?

Why would anyone runs bots on this website? What is the benefit for them? Is someone happens to know about it?

What's bizarre is this particular account is from 2007.
Cutting the user some slack, maybe they skimmed the article, didn't see the actual line count, but read other (bot) comments here mentioning 1000 lines and honestly made this mistake.
You know what, I want to believe that's the case.
It already is in some threads. Sometimes you get the bots writing back and forth really long diatribes at inhuman frequency. Sometimes even anti-LLM content!
