I often see variations on this exact comment on HN lately, even in response to things that are clearly genuine. Sometimes it's just ESL. In my opinion, whenever there is plausible deniability, just pointing it out is almost always the wrong move anyway.

Proliferation of AI "content" and people regurgitating the AI slop makes it extremely likely to be AI slop. You know, if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it's probably a duck.

If you look at HN comments in pre-"AI" era, you will see posts were way shorter and way more concise. While I am certainly could be in wrong, it does look like AI output.
