I read this comment two hours ago: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34849057" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34849057</a><p>from a first glance, it is just a comment which casually recommends some links. But none of the links really work!
I looked through the comment history, which is unsuspicious on a quick glance... but none of the links work! And some comments are also bogus. This is clearly the work of some large language model.<p>But why? Maybe it is just a "funny" weekend project, but it clearly crosses an ethical line (not into deeply illegal, but into deeply ...not nice?!).
