Comment by armchairhacker

Another example of a top comment that was definitely written by an LLM.

And to be clear, style isn't the only problem. This comment can be summarized as "WebAssembly can now interact with the DOM directly instead of through JavaScript, making it the better choice for more types of problems". One sentence instead of a paragraph of cliches ("...change how people think about this...chicken-and-egg loop..."), uncanny phrases ("...the hot-path optimization niche"), and inaccurate claims ("...the only viable use cases were compute-heavy workloads like codecs and crypto").

(For anyone who doesn't believe me, check the user's comment history)
