Goodhart's law: if you rely on a social signal to tell you what's good, you'll break that signal.

Very soon, the domain of bullshit will extend to actual text. We'll be able to buy HN comments by the thousand -- expertly wordsmithed, lucid AI comments -- and you can get them to say "this GitHub repo is the best", or "this startup is the real deal". Won't that be fun?

Who says this isn't already happening?

If people see AI-generated comments on HN they should flag them and let us know at hn@ycombinator.com. HN is for humans to converse, and bots have never been allowed.

Of course it's not always easy to say what's AI-generated or not. But if an account is making a habit of it, it still seems possible to tell.
