Naw, doesn't work. There aren't enough HN posts that declare something interesting and asks for more information. You need an AI that explains why anyone can detect the AI comments is a broken idea that will never work and also sucks.

Does humor signal humanity, or does a reference to a popular line from a show famous in nerd culture show lack of creativity?

No matter the answer, I was entertained.

Not aware of the show you speak of, was just parroting poorly written chatbots.

As for humor, that's one thing AI is not going to be able to do well for many years to come because it requires too much creativity. But as a Turing test it's not very good - some people are just fundamentally unfunny.
