Ask HN: Has Hacker News already been Infiltrated by Clawd Bots?

With the rise of LLM bot networks and boards, I’m wondering if HN has already been infiltrated by bots.

EDIT What I mean: I’m wondering if people let their bots post/comment on their behalf. I’m wondering how we can detect and prevent this from happening at scale.

I don’t think simple things account creation date alone is a reliable qualifier. You could easily give your bot access to post using an old account.
