Lots of people don't even bother reading DFA so you don't even need gpt-3 to "fool" HN.

I suspect a large part of what gets people to the front page are the first 10-20 votes and a large portion of those probably come from people who only read the title (because the first 10 come fairly quickly).

But I also realise I don't have the data to back it up. Does anyone know of a dataset that has upvote times in it?
