Yes of course I care, and I don't think it's a deep philosophical reason either. I think it's more practical A great deal of my friendships have been formed online with people on forums, reddit, in games, in IRC channels or Discord. If you view these sorts of comment threads as pure input/output mechanisms for having interesting conversations then yeah maybe it doesn't matter if the other posters are bots If you are open to making a real human connection, maybe a new friend to meet up with while travelling or to game with online, or maybe someone to start a project with or just an interesting person to talk to, who is real, then it's terrible to have bots muddying things Edit: and on a forum like HN, you never know if a connection might turn into a job or other economic opportunity either. But they wont from bots |

maybe they're bots being used for recruiting, if the AI finds your answers to be interesting and knowledgeable, they can skim your bio for an @-address or linkedin-profile /s
