Neither do most legitimate comments.

We should use AI to preload all of the boilerplate conversation for a thread first, then leave the few interesting comments remaining to human beings.

Wow, interesting idea.

What if I had a HN plugin taught on my usual ramblings. If my post I was about to send matches what the AI already predicted what I was going say, it could flag me and ask "do you really want to do this?"

I think technically that already exists with the delay option but I don't know if many people use it or know what it is.

Ooh. We should also use AI to respond to pedants that won't drop a subject and will claim victory if you stop replying.

(Edit to add: this is not an invitation. Hope that works.)

Or have a "hide comments that could have been autogenerated" button

[krapp]

That's what downvotes are for.
