Karma aside, flooding the comments with a chosen narrative via army of bots seems like it's already happening. I suppose the bots can also do voting rings, but they don't necessarily need to.

again with the conspiracy theories

People do conspire you know.

Just because I’m crazy doesn’t mean they’re not watching me!

I dunno, I agree. It sounds conspiratorial.

But who knows, maybe even 17 year old accounts are being hijacked by AI now too.

Would be interesting to see "fastest growing accounts in last N months" or something similar. I'm guessing the ones that are actually humans would be closer to the top than the bottom, but maybe HN users aren't better than the average person to detect AI or not.

I did on my old account, but dang just banned it because I said my older accounts got banned for opposing AI.

That's not why we'd ban someone.
