Here's a comical one:

They glob out part of the submission title (and took too much and cut off in the middle of a word) generating a delightful nonsense descriptor (the italicized bit). The title being:

The last 3 years was a paradigm shift. How do you know if a comment was generated by AI? If it's written Better than a human comment... if it's too good.

I'm the one who vouched it. I don't check commenters' history before doing it. Maybe I should. My LLM-detector is apparently broken (especially on short posts). At face value I saw nothing wrong with it, so I vouched it.
