Right? Im getting heavy astroturf vibes from these repetitive, nearly perfectly phrased, corporate sounding paragraphs of pure praise.

This is the HN copilot, which writes comments for you.
Basically, if you look at what’s not yet available to the public, we have engines that can write an entire program that does what you want, a test suite, documentation, and write thoughtful comments on all the forums about why the program is good. They could make about 100,000 programs an hour on a cluster, together wih effusive praise for each, but that would make everyone supicious.
