Very unlikely to be an actual easter egg. This was posted on the (awful) DaftPunk subreddit a while back, and reads just like some hidden advertisement.

An ad for what? One of the best songs ever?

The tempo app that the author developed.

Are meta or off topic comments against the rules in HN?

Several of the guidelines discourage that kind of comment here, and we’ve been asking the community to avoid public accusations of LLM-generated comments and instead to email us. This is because the negative consequences of a false accusation outweigh the benefits of a valid accusation.

This seems to kinda fit but not entirely?

Are yours?

No. Sometimes, when the topic or medium require perfect grammar, I translate my comments into english using Gemini (I'm ESL). And when I do that sometimes I wonder if it sounds as robotic and toothless as AI generated comments.

I don't remember ever doing that in HN, though.

Which part of that two line comment made you think it was AI generated?? Are you imagining he did something like this:

prompt> You are a commenter on a popular tech-focused discussion forum. Write a comment about how Daft Punk still surprises us, despite the fact that they're retired. Include a note about how much time has passed since they last performed. Also, include the album name itself. The comment should be brief and mildly enthusiastic. Phrase it in such a way as to attract many upvotes from community members.

chatgpt> Daft Punk continues to awe us, even after their retirement. Can't believe it's been almost 20 years since Alive 2007!

I swear, the AI Policing around here is getting annoying.

Well at least the last jokey comment was somewhat amusing. What does this even mean?

No need to be defensive about this. I just want to know what compels some people to automate HN comments with AI. This site doesn't have the same social incentive as Reddit or some other social media hellhole.

Maybe HN should hide the number of votes to get around this.

You decided it was AI (doesn’t look it to me) and are AI-policing. If you think AI comments lower the quality of HN discussions, then I’m just letting you know that accusing people because their grammar doesn’t seem natural to you, is also bad.

I’ve reconsidered and you’re right. I appreciate you sharing your perspective, and I hope my initial doubts didn’t come off as contrarian or argumentative. Maintaining the quality of discussion in this community is very important to me, as I'm sure it is to you.

Happy hacking!
