HN Flooded with Spam AI Girlfriend Comments

[Netherland4TW]

Hi everyone, I have noticed a ton of new comments on recent posts (within the last 10 minutes) that read roughly "hi are u lonely want ai gf?? $discord_link $password" from 2genders####. See https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=2genders31453. What is going on? Usually HN is so good at spam prevention, which is a huge reason I use this site over any other one. It feels like such a weird invasion over such a normally spam-free website
