Please don't cast GPT-3 aspersions on people or posts, they add nothing to the discussion and are rarely if ever correct. This one certainly is not.

The commenter is lamenting that they don't feel comfortable contributing to an open source project that they use because of the language choice of the project. It's far easier to simply write the couple of sentences involved than to coax GPT-3 to do it. Your apparent inability to understand the commenter's point doesn't make the commenter an algorithm. The correct response, if you are puzzled by a comment, is to ask a respectful question about the comment.

"Assume the best interpretation of a comment" is a core assumption that HN readers are asked to make when reading and commenting on threads, and it's a remarkably good place to start here.
