I'd be more worried about bots gaming the voting. I'm perfectly happy to share this website with intelligent machines if they make insightful comments.

Whether odomojuli's post was written by a human, robot or dog is rather immaterial. It's the content of the post that makes it good or bad. It can be evaluated without knowing the author.

Perhaps this will keep us on our toes. I tend to find something more believable if it's presented in nice prose (the AI's forte) -- which is really not how I should be evaluating information.

Add another bullet next to that: don't submit generated comments.

Not me. Not without total attribution so I know it's a bot and whose. There is no AI generated text etc without an agenda - implicit or explicit; benign or sinister.

Advancing the conversation is one thing but when u can't tell between a Russian GRU bot let loose to promote trigger words and some 4chan teenager who had a bad day at school then the online forum as a mode of expression is dead.

A 4channer is entitled to their opinion however wrong. A bot acting like it's human needs to be hunted, killed, and erased.
