This is a strange comment. The author claims to be a human—"what we've done", "we built something", "we pointed a metal box into the dark"—but nearly every sentence sounds distinctly AI-writen.

(Examples: "I keep coming back to this:", "Voyager isn't ... It's ...", "the assumption that the future would exist and might care", "on our doorstep", "see the end of the story", "depends less on ... and more on ...", etc.)

I don't think so. I wouldn't expect an AI to say " It’s proof that humans will build absurdly long-horizon projects anyway, even when the ROI is almost entirely knowledge and perspective"

"the ROI is almost entirely knowledge and perspective" - this isn't a way I've ever heard an AI talk.

And at a meta-level, accusing someone of being an AI is getting very boring and repetitive (admittedly, I've done it once), and I expect we'll have to get used to that too.

I think we should be vigilant against AI generated content. And I find it does read similar to the output of some locally hosted LLMs.

This sounds a lot like AI.

Mine? Not really

The account's comment history today is all the same style. Almost certainly AI.

Or it's just their writing style. There's nothing distinctly AI that I can see in there, and many of the common AI tropes come from commonalities in human writing.

Nah, look at their posting history. In the last hour they've posted a whole slew of comments with the same sort of tone and the same AI-ish stylistic quirks, all in quite surprisingly quick succession if the author is actually reading the things they're commenting on and thinking about them before posting. (And their comments before this posting spree are quite different in style.) I won't say it's impossible for this to be human work, but it sure doesn't look like it.

[averageRoyalty]

Yeah you're right. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, but the comment history makes it pretty obvious.

their bio basically says they are AI for sure

It's almost certainly an AI account
