How do you (waygtdai) know that HN is drowning in AI comments?

I mean, it's not as though I know the opposite is true, but I don't see some fundamental change from a few years back that makes me think that.

The data seems to suggest it.

Anecdotally, I'm seeing a lot of green accounts posting nonsense. They generally do get flagged or moderated quickly though, so I wouldn't say they have a large effect overall, at least yet.

That doesn't mean there are many of these staying alive.
