I don't think he's using it to post AI slop, moreso to find himself in actively ongoing conversations on HN.




Now I’m paranoid that my comments sound like an LLM. I write all my own comments without LLM “assistance”. I actually am somewhat anti-AI in that regard so this comment chain is causing me some anxiety :p

Also I use do use unlurker probably mostly as a stubborn insistence on using something I spent a lot of time on and to try to be more active, but ironically I just saw this article on the front page of the real site not on unlurker. I mostly develop in golang so found it pretty interesting albeit a bit extreme.


I respect anyone who uses the tools they made, and actually I didn't even know this tool existed, and will be trying it out after work, so it at least brought some attention to your tool!

I think we're going to see more people being accused of using AI because of word choice. The way I read your message outside of the one word you chose to use, it read like a genuine opinion of yours.


Gotcha, phew. I went through the repo and found no obvious comment posting module

I mean. Not in THAT repo. /s

Still: Seems ripe for abuse.

Bad actors ruin nice toys for the rest of us.


Nothing about unlurker is abusive; it’s just another one of the dozens of front-ends to HN. If anything seems abusive I’ll change it.
