The scary part is that this doesn't seem too far off, with the current proliferation of large language models like the GPTs..

(I ninja-edited my comment in the first minute; the parent might have responded to a less clear version, since they posted at +3 minutes. I added "AI" in a revision).

OK, sounds reasonable. I didn't see the edit either, was just thinking about the myriad of LLM articles on the front page recently.

If you want to, you can always set 'delay' in your profile to the number of minutes (up to 10) that you would like your comments to be visible only to you. This puts the stealth back in stealth editing. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html

I rely heavily on this because it's somehow only after the comment is 'real' (i.e. staring back at me from a real HN thread) that I notice most of the edits I want to make.
