I wish someone would use GPT-3 to generate automatic replies to comments based on previous HN history. I'm sure discussions repeat themselves a lot.

The only thing GPT-3 is good for is producing useless text that humans find hard to process.

So it's great for blog spam.

GPT-3 would produce comments that would get up voted but contribute absolutely nothing.

You'd be better crowdsourcing your idea with a page to point people to explaining how the threads been done before and the common answers.

Would love to see some examples of what you are talking about, do you have access to the OpenAI API?
There's a silicon user on HN, but no idea if they are/identify as a GPT-3. They have some training particular to HN

But here is a outed Reddit user -
