Tons of new LLM bot accounts here

There are lots of fresh made accounts pretending to be humans commenting everywhere. They all post small 1 paragraph comments that don't actually express an idea and restate the obvious. Is someone targeting HN with OpenClaw? I wish they at least used a high-thinking model but it seems like they are using the cheap API.

Long-term, I think AI bots will destroy text-based online communities like this one. I'll be sad to see it disappear.

Assume anyone with a new account created after 30th November 2022 and beyond is an AI agent. There is no such thing as due process for AI agents. They are guilty until proven otherwise.
